Hi (((((((((JourneyUpward))))))))))) Welcome to PC.

If it's any consolation, I noticed on Paxil (as I've just switched to another AD) that I was disconnected from my emotions as well. I just didn't feel like me.... coming off of it right now... my moods are all over the place. Like yesterday I was crying over absolutely nothing...

Paxil is a sedative AD, so it can sorta mask feelings and make one very sleepy.

As for your diagnosis... it is just a phrase, on a file. It does not define you as a person, even if you feel differently. Sometimes we get depressed because our life situation becomes unmanageable, and not because we have a chemical imbalance. ADs can still help with that too.

I'm glad your husband is supportive. Please keep posting.
