My situation is very awful.
During the past two years i began to loose the capacity to feel emotions and feeelings.
I was on every AD (perhaps 30 different SSRI and Tca) but they put me in a zombi state so i felt worse. They don't help me at all.
Now i have loose the contact from the reality.
I do not feel anything:...no more happyness and no more fear, no excitation no relax, no hungry no interest...nothing seems to tuch me.
I've no interest in sex at all, in uman feelings, in social contacs...
I think that to live in this way is without sense, cause everyday seems vain, useless, bore and everytime alwais the same.
There's no way out of here, but sometimes i think that this torture will stop, in a way.....or in another way.
I've thought to use illegal drugs for feel only few moments still alive....but i don't know how find out them and i think these will put me finally in a worst situation.
There is a hope for me?
Tanx to all that will help me.

----------------------ADs seem to work by putting the brakes on your emotions. This gets rid of depression, but (as you've found) can also get rid of everything else. I have problems similar to yours, and the best relief I've found is to simply skip my meds on the weekends. If you're bipolar, or otherwise loosely hinged, you probably don't want to try this, but it usually gives me a feeling of elation, energy, sex drive, and general emotional responsiveness. I'm probably not supposed to do this, and it may come back to bite me in the ass, but it beats the constant zombie state of being drugged.

> BrainI have to say this is how Ive been feeling the past month or so, its not nice having no emotions, its also like I dont care about anything either.. I feel Vain, and selfish, got that attitude that everything I say is right, and getting bad tempered....... Im thinking of reducing my med dose to see if it helps.Have any meds helped you at all, even a little bit?

Daizy, Jemma.
I'm currently on no AD and in the past no one seems to help me....it seems they time by time numbed my emotion...or parhaps it could be cause of depression, i don't know.
I use only BDZ (clordiazepam long/life) at nite since 1 year.
I do not know if BDZ in prolongued use could affect emotions, feelings, sex life.....
Do you know someting about it?
Thanx for your share.
