Anyone take ad’s and think they make them numb??

[granadagirl]

By numb I mean
I don’t think I’m depressed anymore not like I was, crying all the time, not wanting to do anything, in my own world. I want to do things, but the enthusiasm isn’t there or it soon goes.
I just don’t feel happy, I think if I won the lottery I’d say “oh right”
It’s like something holding me back or sucked the life and soul out of me
Can’t really explain it!!
(perhaps someone could better than me)

I take venlafaxine and have done for 8 yrs at different doses currently on 225mg
They got me out of a black hole when I was around 56 in menopause stage.

Anyone else similar?

I had this problem with Amitriptyline, but it's an older drug and not a SNRI. I also a ways taking it for migraine and nothing else.
I do take Fluoxetine now for anxiety and don't have this problem.

Maybe worth trying a different drug to see if it makes a difference.
