Temporary numbness CAN be helpful, but i could never live like that long-term... Guess it boils down to being a personal choice. XOXO

I have had meds make me "flat" and "numb" and that was better than utterly miserable and sui, at least for awhile. That much loss of affect isn't generally the goal, but sometimes that's where you end up. It can be a short-term relief from other symptoms, but I doubt that many people like or even tolerate that state for very long!
I usually take numbness to mean that the meds aren't doing their job very well. Feeling numb for a long time led me to SI in the past, and I don't want that to happen ever ever ever again.
