hi. most psych drugs can cause varying degrees of apathy and numbing. when one starts putting together a multi-drug cocktail (which seems to be the norm for mood disorders), things can get...extra rough.

and yet...the psych drugs can be helpful. my personal advice would be to research the drugs you're currently prescribed and see what literature and other patients have to say.

sometimes, a switch is all it takes. i could not deal with risperidone, but abilify gets the job done and im not a zombie. that's -me-, not you, but...trying a different drug in the same class, asking about a dosage reduction, etc...can make a big difference, at times.

hope this helps.
