To John,
My experience of depression is similar to yours.
To Fachad --
I was intrigued by your remark that this numbness or affective blunting is a commonly reported brain change that persists after meds are stopped. Is this something you've ever seen studied or is it something you've observed and experienced personally?
I personally have also experienced a change in anger (much less intense) and anxiety (not so phobic and shy) that has persisted even when off meds.
I don't miss the rage and fear. I do miss the ability to cry.
Anyone else notice changes in these areas post-meds?
