Hi everyone! I have had anxiety/depression for a few years now and have tried multiple medicines. I just got a new psychiatrist a few months ago and with her I started taking Pristiq (my third try at an SSRI). I don't want to get ahead of myself in case it's just a spoof, but I think the medicine is actually working. I feel more normal than I can ever remember feeling. Things that used to throw me into a downward spiral are so much easier to handle. I am really excited but it's weird; I feel like something is missing. I am wondering if I am just not used to being depression-free, or maybe the medicine is numbing the happy stuff/the highs and not just the lows (although I'm not even sure an SSRI can do that), or maybe something else. Has anyone else experience this?
Also I hope everyone is doing alright tonight. If not, please remember there's hope! There's a medicine or a mindfulness technique or a therapist or something out there for you that will make things better!
