Emotional blunting on Wellbutrin
I started Wellbutrin 5 days ago and, I didn’t know it was possible, but I already feel somewhat better. I’ve been depressed for 11 years, although last year it got REALLY bad (I was in complete isolation, no job, no purpose, and struggling with health issues). I’m ADHD and I suffer from PTSD and social anxiety, just to give you some context. In these five days, I’ve done more than I did in the last two months. My mind feels so quiet, I’m pain-free (how is that even possible?), and I already feel so much better. I’m even more confident. My social anxiety is almost completely gone, and I know for sure it’s not just a placebo effect. It sounds like a dream if it weren’t for this: I just can’t feel emotions. I can’t get emotional, angry, or sad. When I’m lucky enough to feel something, it’s so distant. For example, yesterday I felt the urge to cry, but I just couldn’t physically do it. It really scares me. I told my psychiatrist about my concerns, but she said it’s all in my head. It kind of felt like gaslighting to me. I know it may sound stupid, but I’m not sure if I want to continue taking it because I’m worried it might never go away.
