the ssris have almost always saved me from certain death but i continually experience the flat effect which i eventually take to be insodious and then try to come off them. That and insomnia, anti-social tendancies, low ambition desire/taste etc. The numbing is not a consequence of the SSRIs themselves but a combination of the raised serotonin levels and the subsequent lowering of responsiveness at DA regulating parts of the brain that implies. Other undesirable side effects such as poor arousal + retarded orgasm, muscular jerks, tremor and diarrhea are all consistent with raised serotonin levels. The drugs really do their job perfectly they're just totally unsuitable for long-term existence.
Tianeptine could help, some feel a bit clouded over or detatched on it. I did. Agomelatine i imagine everyone here will jump on as soon as they get the chance, who knows what advantages it will offer. As for me i'm taking the last of my duloxetine at 10mg/day and 5-HTP 2-3 times a day. I'll probably start the perika brand of st.john's wort in a week. I'm really irritable atm but thankful for the increased emotional range and un-chemicalised state.
