I dont know if medication has anything to do with it. It's individual for everyone, but i personally havent had any problems. I've been Zoloft for almost 7 years, was on BuSpar for a year and am on Klonopin and have no problem with a void of emotions. One of my friends actually asked me if i was bipolar bc sometimes i'm very happy and then i kinda go flat... I think thats just my personality tho :confuse:
I have been on Zoloft for a few months now. My dr. had me increase the dosage slowly until I got to 100 mg. At my check up, I said that I was having one panic attack a week (which was better but not the best) and I told him that I couldn't cry. I asked to be decreased to 75 mg and now I'm doing much better. I can cry now but my mood swings aren't as strong. I'm able to handle life better but still cry at silly things like I used to. I have also decreased my panic attacks a lot. I think I've had 2 or 3 since then and I think it's because I'm weaning off the Clonazepam and had allowed myself to have them (I think I kind of talked myself into them.) I was taking .5mg of Clonazepam every night before bed. For the last several nights I have taken only 1/8th of a pill instead of the 1/2 I've been taking. Tonight I will not take any before bed and I feel pretty good about it.
However, I admit, it the 75mg didn't work, I would rather have been in the position of not being able to cry then have the panic attacks I was having. At least for a little while. Then I would want to wean off the medicaition. Also, I really don't have any bad side effects of Zoloft so I didn't want to deal with a medication change at the time.
I gotta go.
I took Zoloft in the very start (oct.2001) and took it for about 6 months. The thing I noticed the most was total LACK of emotions and I am pretty much an emotional person. If someone close to me died I never cried. It was more like.."wow...that is a bummer" and I just dealt with it. I never could get to an emotional HIGH level at all.
When I got off of the Zoloft it took about 10 days I noticed I found myself teary and weepy and feeling emotions that I then had no idea what to do with them.
I stayed off medications totally until lately and the panic attacks started up and I am now on Lexapro. I am already feeling that "hmmm..so whats the big deal?" thing.
I guess at this point, I am ready to have LACK of emotions than deal with that darn panic/anxiety stuff daily.
