I just know from my own case, that when I get really depressed I don't feel anything and don't want to do anything. SSRIs don't seem to help this (or even make it worse).This is true, isn't it? I know this has been discussed-- the ssri's and the lot flatten feelings, but I just got the lightbulb moment. So a damn ssri won't treat exactly what I'd like it to treat. Quite ridiculous really. But what else to take?
I'm glad to hear about your success with CBD. And that you discontinued Effexor just like that.
Drat this whole illness.
