Hey everyone, thank you for replying. This is so tragic... and it feels like my life is over. The past two weeks I've been laying down in bed. Even though I don't have emotions, just knowing something like this happened to me... and knowing that I will never have a GF/WIFE/FAMILY and have a normal life is tragic. I don't know what to do anymore... the passion, the excitement and the joy are all gone. I can physically cry, but I do not feel ANYTHING. It's so hard to continue existing knowing that nothing matters anymore, knowing that your life has been ruined.
@ metamorphosis - It's tragic that these "meds" are even allowed to the public. Have you regained your emotions back... or no?
@ SLS - Well, I was just very, very sad... I didn't want to go to school anymore, didn't want to see anyone. I couldn't concentrate, etc... but after Prozac, I do not have ANY emotions. I just want to lay in bed and die, knowing that my life has been ruined. I can exercise, but is there any benefit in doing so? If I could have my emotions back, I would be the HAPPIEST PERSON in the world.
@ metamorphosis - when you used Wellbutrin, did your emotions come back? What positive effects did you feel?
@ poser938 - So far, no... it's done nothing. Only thing I noticed is that I used to have headache's and had one dream that was real and very colorful.
I never had any brain injury in the past. It's sad to see that people think we are lying or something... why would I lie about this? What benefit do I get? I am just looking for help... it's already hard to live and know that you're hopeless... and then people say "Oh yeah, well you're lying... blah blah blah, we can't help you".
So, poser, what has worked for you in order to get your emotions back? Did you even get your emotions back?
I'm confused, I don't know whether I should just wait for years, and hope my brain can recover... or if I should try more medication... after all, the reason I'm like this, is because I used a "drug" (SSRI antidepressant).
IF ANYONE has had this problem after taking SSRI antidepressants, and found a cure or something that works, please let me know... please post something. I don't want to live the rest of my life with no emotions. This is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE feeling. I cannot even explain in words how T-R-A-G-I-C being emotionless is.
