It's really funny you bringing this up now as I have been thinking today how numb I always feel on all antidepressants.
When I was in my 20s and only had to take a small dose of a tricyclic and then later on Paxil they made me feel so much better and I felt so much more alive. I really enjoyed life and I laughed so much.
Since being in my 30s they have stopped me going so low, to the point of being suicidal, but I've had to take a much higher dose and although I can feel love, most of the time I just feel really numb and I don't particularly like it. I can't laugh like I normally do and I feel kind of blaze about everything. Which is better than feeling suicidal I guess.
