Personally, I would not accept feeling flat/numb. It's a crappy feeling. You DESERVE happiness and healthiness, and a med that makes you numb isn't doing that.
Whether you're depressed or numb, you can't get much enjoyment out of your life, as you've found out — but life is meant to be enjoyed. So why should we accept feeling this way? We shouldn't.
It's always important to tell your doctor about these things. The goal of psych medication is not to numb you, but to improve your quality of life. Meds that over-stabilize don't improve much, if anything at all. So in my opinion, being over-stabilized defeats the purpose of taking psych meds, especially when there are so many psych med options and combinations out there.
You are your best advocate. Advocate for yourself. You deserve better.
