Jmeff Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just wondering if you meds make you emotionally numb? If so, what meds are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_On Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I took Zoloft a few years ago and it made me feel completely emotionless, disconnected from everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Purist Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes, definitely. 6mg of Klonopin, 40mg of Celexa, 450mg of Wellbutrin and 400mg of Lamictal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperados Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Even 5mg of abilify makes me a total brain locked zombie,so i stopped taking it long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcake_girl Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I wouldn't say numb but I am definitely less emotional.. Sometimes I wish I could really have a good cry but I just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallenStar Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Meds I've taken in the past (Pristique, Effexor) left me feeling that way. Now I'm on bupropion which makes me feel more human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn1954 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 My meds DO NOT make me feel emotionally numb, they make me feel like my normal self. When I'm in a situation where it's appropriate to feel happy, I feel happy. When I'm in a situation where it's appropriate to feel sad, I feel sad. I take every morning 20 mg escitalopram (generic for Lexapro) and every night 0.5 mg clonozepam (generic for Klonopin). Jmeff, what meds are you taking and exactly how emotionally numb do you feel? Before any meds, did you feel wild and wacky feelings, or mood swings, or dark depression? If so, maybe the increased emotional stability on meds "seems" like being numb?

Jmeff Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 it's mostly zyprexa I think that makes me feel like it. I want to try saphris to see if that's better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novangel Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I currently take 2 1/2 to 3mgs of benzos a day for years. I plan to come off soon but contrary to what everyone says they have never made me emotionally numb. I wish they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallaLily Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I wish. I've tried so many medications and different therapies and nothing has worked. I'm to the point where I just need to be able to work my job and get through life. The only way I think I can accomplish this is if I don't feel anything. I think I'd rather feel numb than dysfunctional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban ssoul Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I take Prozac and ive just started it and its making me feel lethargic. Around 12 years back i was on Prozac and at that time it made me feel so energetic,happy and full of life. but now when i started taking it again after 12 years i feel lazy and lifeless.
