> Thanks Bleauberry! Do you know exactly what I mean by emotional flatness. Feelings of love, passion for things you liked/loved before, etc. gone. Did that reverse for you?

> LaneyWell Laney, how about this. All my life, starting at age 6, I was a guitarist and loved it. Was one of the best in town. My passion. On the ADs, my guitar went into the closet for 5 years. All that passion vanished. With meds that reversed the flatness...adrafinil primarily...I regained interest...except it was in other stuff. I got into plants, gardening, painting, talk radio, other stuff but not music.
It wasn't until I was totally off all meds for a few months that the long lost friend of music came knocking at my door. The passion was back bigtime. Since then, the only meds that have not hurt that passion, and actually helped fuel it, have been Savella or Amisulpride. Pretty much all other meds are passion killers for me.
