Has anyone else found they lost their love for spouse and parents while depressed and/or taking anti depressants?
I have had periods of depression in the past, lacking in motivation, losing enjoyment in things and have had short treatments of ssri anti depressants.
But last autumn i felt lacking in motivation, and my doc prescribed paroxetine and then changed to fluoxetine (as i had severe diarrhoea). I suffered from insomnia and anxiety about everything and then seemed to lose my 'normal' emotions... love, empathy, sadness...
I am now on sertraline
I have become detached from my husband, and my whole life really. I am desperate to feel how i felt before... we were happily married for 25 years before this. I just don't know how to deal with this at all. I'd be grateful for any suggestions or similar experiences.
Thanks.
