I am taking Lexapro but I feel like it makes me care less about everything. The lows are less low but my positive emotions are dulled also. Has anyone felt the same way or fixed this?
Im on Lexapro also and I find the same thing happens to me. I just try to be more mindful and present, but it is hard
Yep it’s called emotional blunting .. happened to me when I was on too high a dose of sertraline
Question, how long did it take for it to go away when you switched back to a lower dosage?
@Anonymous I ended up coming off SSRI’s bc I felt like a zombie so now I’m sort of the opposite I feel way too much 😂
@Anonymous Honestly it’s just takes like a week or 2 for your brain to readjust to the new dosage though
Yeah same, the various times ive tried ssri I feel dull and overall like grey and low energy, and it makes me sleep longer. Maybe the dose is too high for you as well? From the research articles I’ve read online medication isn’t really a good solution especially not long term. It seems good for a particularly difficult episode in life but not something that will help cure people in the long run..
This happened to me on Citalopram. Can relate.
Yes, SSRIs seems to just dull my emotion without solving the issue, they don't lift me up or help the intrusive thinking
