Antipsycohtics can cause or worsen depression. There's also "neuroleptic induced dysphoria," which includes emotional blunting. This is supposed to be less of a problem with lower doses and newer drugs, but it still happens.
If you're on a stimulant for your depression, I'm kind of surprised that your doc would think a neuroleptic at any dose would be appropriate. Then again, I'm not a doctor.
