I Hate The Numbness From Meds

I'm taking antidepressants for my C-PTSD and depression. The pain is gone but I feel neutral, like no emotions, it's weird and I'm not a fan of it tbh. I've been taking them for two days.

I would give yourself a few months for things to truly settle down, and for uour body to reach a homeostasis. I was on Duloxetine for about 6 years and felt physically, emotionally, and mentally numb. I was just existing in a sphere and watching the world pass by. When I weaned off I was able to laugh and experience emotions but the anxiety was debilitating. I'm on Zoloft now, and reaching a homeostasis.
