Hi Dust to Dust. I am sorry you're struggling. Have you talked to your doctor about all the potential side effects of this medication? Since it's the early stages, it's possible you are experiencing side effects, which should wear off after some time. But also, some meds can have a dulling effect to emotions.. kind of like a suppressant. I would talk to your doctor about what you're experiencing. You may need a med adjustment. I am no doctor, but it's possible. Best wishes to you and your girlfriend!
