Hi Chris,

Emotional blunting is a big problem. I'm sorry to hear that is your current experience. I have thought, (at least in regards to my own situation), that might be the way they decrease anxiety. I find AP's work this way on me, too.

You asked what am I treating. Recurrent depression (bipolar ll) and all kinds of anxiety. Social anxiety is most prominent likely leading to depression and further anxiety (GAD). My depression is very physical. My pdoc adds ADD to the list, and that creates anxiety, too.

I found Emsam stimulating in a good way unlike effexor, say. It's so easy to use which is why I would caution a recommendation. It didn't seem blunting to the degree of an ssri. I haven't tried any other MAOI, but I gather it is weaker. In my case it was enough to keep me out of the hole. I have used 6mg through 12mg patches. Only when my pdoc (at the time) pushed it past that did I feel the diet effect. No tap beer I've heard.

Have you tried any benzodiazepines?
