Feeling numb of positive emotions

Hey guys,

For the past 8 years I have battled depression and anxiety. This last year has been real rough. I have lost feeling of pleasure and joy. I'm pretty much numb to emotions. I currently take lexapro and welbutrin. Any thoughts?

Hi there if as you say things are getting worse and I presume you've been on your meds for a long time maybe a visit to your doctor is called for it maybe that your meds are needing changed! Get seen as soon as you can and stay safe all the best david

Thank you for your feedback. I'm a little reserved at starting new meds again. In the past 6 months I have changed from paxil to prosaic then lexapro.
