Ad’s and feeling numb. No enjoyment

Posted in chat also but only one reply, so maybe more traffic here

By numb I mean
I don’t think I’m depressed anymore like I was 8 years ago. Crying all the time, not sleeping, not wanting to go out of the house, super high anxiety. Where I couldn’t eat, the thought and I’d gag.

I want to do things, I’ll get a thought idea then think about it again and the enthusiasm gone. I don’t feel happy, I could win the lottery and just think oh right thanks. I’ve got no passion about anything, I go to pilates, enjoy it but never enthusiastic about going. Dp as passion of quite a few things and can get really enthusiastic, keen and is always saying. But what are you passionate about ?
Nothing🤷‍♀️ I like things but I can give and take them
I’m I just a miserable post menopausal 62 yr old now, and accept it.

Does anyone feel similar and also take ad’s

I think you need to change, they shouldn't make you feel like that. Which one do you take?

I’m on 225mg venlafaxine

So is those of you on ad’s
Your mostly happy?

I’m not at the moment as I’m having a pretty bad depressive episode and I’m the process of adjusting my dosage.

However, previously, I have been happy while on them. Stable, interested, motivated. I would recommend you speak to your GP as the apathy isn’t something you should just put up with.

I’m on venlafaxine too and have the same “nothingness”. It has helped stop me from constantly crying and feeling suicidal...but feels like a lot of side effects (some of which, like the nothingness, I find distressing in their own right).
