I have found the meds do make me a bit more emotionally "numb."
They make me more "numb" in every way.

I feel a good cry is a great release and it's an amazing natural release of emotions!

At the same time, my depression has become more resistant to responding to treatment and I went through a lot of months of crying non-stop, it was very painful. Maybe, just maybe, I was releasing old memories, old emotions which needed releasing. I liked to think something about it was healing.

Now that I am on different meds, I am more numb, emotionally and otherwise. I am not without empathy nor without sadness, just not as sensitive as I was, which feels a bit like relief for now. I have not noticed feeling like crying and not being able to cry. I think I feel like crying much less often, even though I am still quite "unsettled."
