SSRI makes me numb?
Depression Support / by adventurousWalker8840
Last post

...See more I've been prescribed an SSRI for several years now (Lexapro) and while it has certainly helped me with my depression issues, I feel like it also makes me somewhat numb to things that I would otherwise have emotions about. I'm wondering if anyone else has this experience? I'm considering consulting my doctor about weaning off of the SSRI in a safe way, to see if I can manage my depression with therapy and other non-medical techniques and hopefully regain some of my personality. I can't help but feel that perhaps this medication, while helping me in some ways, has robbed me of who I truly am at the core. I would appreciate any feedback from others who have experienced anything like this with an SSRI.
