> it's quite a while i've been feeling emotionally numb, living a B&W world. When my doctors put me on meds (usually SSRIs, SJW and some others), I always felt more apathetic and actually more depressed. Docs seem to ignore this fact and suggest me to push the dose higher.

It's not a life that brings satisfaction, it's just an acceptable - though miserable - world. I see life flushing down the drain, and I'm still very young for giving up of an enjoyable life.

> RalphHi I was going to say a feel for you, except I'm pretty numb myself.Yeah I totally understand and agree. The article is great, I've read it before but your post inspired me to re-read it. Its off one of my favourite web sites. I'm going to try tianeptine. It was after reading about it on biopsychiatry.com that I got interested.
Take care
