so they are menat to dull the 'sad' feeling, or panic attacks, or whatever, the BAD stuff

but, do they also dull the 'good' stuff too
like so you lose the ability to feel real happiness? or that loved up new relationship feeling? etc

do they just nake you feel one constant balanced out feeling all the time no matter what, so you never feel too happy and never feel too sad?

yes, that's how they made me feel anyway, i was on citalopram & then sertraline for 18 months.i could feel some stuff, but most of the time i didn't feel like myself at all and i found it really difficult to make decisions.i found a journal from when i was on them and it is not me speaking, i totally lost touch with myself, coming off them was scary because it was like stepping out of a bubble.

also, it's probably unrelated, but since i've been off them i find it difficult to write & get spaced out really easily.like, i used to be able to concentrate lots & i really enjoyed writing before i went on them, i still do but now i find it more difficult, and a lot of the time i feel really out of it.

in my veins runs more drugs than blood and i hate it

depends on what you take.

ive been off and on stuff since age 12. i recently started up again and i often feel quite numb to (almost) everything. however i do have rare moments of feeling REALLY good for no apparent reason. but like, stuff that use to bother me rolls off easier (ie when my heinous mother acts annoying/abuses me). it still bother me but not to the core like it used to pre prozac.

i dont like the feeling of being on them but i need it to be sociable and functioning. no amount of drugs or therapy will ever change a person from being their true self. it will merely mask what you are supposed to be

The first time i took Zoloft when i was about 13/14 till 18 years of age It worked for me perfectly and i felt great blah blah.
I started taking it again last year (200mgs) and this time it made me feel numb & drugged up. I was constantly drained & having to nap.
(I haven't taken it for about a month or so & although i feel dizzy i feel much more alert.)

I found that this time it didn't stop me from feeling sad- it pretty much just stopped me from feeling anything at all.
