high dose ssri drugs were the worst. i have obsessive traits, so higher doses are supposedly "more effective." Ummm...ok. numb, apathetic, and mood instability. thanks, zoloft.

i have to watch it w/ the abilify. im at 20 now, which is higher than id like, but its not as bad as 30 was (For me). I have more "emotional range," plus there's less sedation w/ abilify than many other options. risperidone was far more numbing....maybe that's why they used it on me in a hospital?

trileptal is somewhat numbing, and that depends on dosage, too. i think pretty much any psych drug is somewhat numbing, even the stimulants. ritalin and then amphetamines helped take the edge off depression and help w/ concentration, but there was still -stuff- i just didn't have to deal with, as long as I was stimulated.

interesting thread.
