My anti depressants make me feel emotionally numb. how do i counteract this effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Speak with your doc: You may need to taper off this medication and try another medication if your experiencing this as a side effect. Alternatively, this may be a component of depression and you may need a higher dose. You should discuss with your prescribing physician.
