I agree with both of you! I experienced being numb, and it was ok in the context of my rage issues ( my mom even commented that I wasn't 'throwing tantrums') but when it got right down to it, i was N0T enjoying my watered down existance. My pain didn't cut as deep, and my joy wasn't nearly as blissful. I missed FEELING! And that's a huge part of the reason i quit my meds. Temporary numbness CAN be helpful, but i could never live like that long-term... Guess it boils down to being a personal choice. XOXO
