I never had emotional numbness on Paxil, but I found I did on other meds, like Buspar, and most recently, Celexa. I never felt as low as it sounds you are, however. I wonder is Paxil is the right med for you.... I thought it was mainly for slight depression, but suicidal depression?
I never had trouble with motivation on Paxil, either (although I did on Celexa). I have tons of energy to do all kinds of things, get my work done on time, and it's all accompanied with a feeling of "pleasure". Unlike the other stuff I've tried.
I just had the most horrible experience with Celexa, so I know what it feels like to be on the "right" med, and it was fairly obvious early on. The Paxil allowed me to do things I never thought I'd be able to do... I wonder why there are so few threads here about Paxil?
