I know exactly what you mean. At first it was a relief to be rid of the oppressive feelings but then I too felt I lost compassion and zest. Humanness, spirituallness, yes, they felt gone and I won't go there again. uhmm, unless it gets really really bad....oh, I hope I don't have to go there again..
I don't know if it is possible, but I feel better already after only two days on 25mg lamictal..Oh please, let it be so!!
