Anyone ever hear of or experience a dulling of your personality due to a antidepressant? In the past antidepressants would cause unpleasant quirks to my personality like speeding thoughts and impulsiveness with all areas of my life. So I would go off them just to get a breather which would last until I would go low again. I recognize that pattern in myself which is why I'm so confused this time.
I was really low over winter and I faithfully took my meds because I was terrified of going back there. It helped me out so much other than weight gain Blah. Lately though it felt like I was too normal, a weird feeling for me. It took away those bursts of happy excitement, spontaneous creativity and my sense of humour. So I went off. Zero physical side effects from coming off but have noticed impulsiveness like taking kids out of school and fast rash decisions. Also a bit of compulsiveness or obsessing about trees and flowers and wanting them all.
Should I be concerned?
