Anti-depressants do "coat" your emotions, but remember when you're depressed your emotions can overwhelm you and run your life.
The way I look at it, anti-depressants help take away the misery, but they don't add happiness, only you can do that, don't expect miracles, they can't improve your life - only you can, you have to make changes, they can't motivate you, only you can do that!
I had the same drugged feeling for months, probably the first 5-6, but with time and therapy and a lot of effort I feel great, I don't expect the medication to "cure" me, just to help give me some of the energy that I need to make positive changes for myself.
Take responsibility for your role in your own recovery - only you can do it!
