Neuroleptics tend to "blunt", or downregulate affect (mood), some are much worse at this, some don't do it as much.
SSRIs can do it also -- but there's a property of SSRIs when I was taking them that I noticed (I don't know how long you've been taking one) -- sometimes you don't know how it has helped you until you discontinue it. And I'm far from telling you to discontinue it. That's just an aside. But the blunting from SSRIs is not like the blunting from neuroleptics.
