Emotional blunting, post SSRI Hi all, I (F, 29) took my first SSRI last summer (fluoxetine) for anxiety, panic and burnout. If you are in that long enough… of course you will become exhausted and depressed. After 4 weeks I noticed I became very emotionally blunted. I did not feel like myself so tapered off over 3 extra weeks and used it 7 weeks total. It’s been 7 months now since I took my last dose and I am still feeling the blunting effects, along with other annoying withdrawal symptoms. I really miss “me”… 😔 Before the meds I was overly emotional and cried easily, so this feels completely different. Also my body signals like hunger, saturation, thirst, sleepiness and sweating (I barely sweat anymore) are completely off. Some days my skin feels numb and I also have severe dry eyes, dry skin, headaches, head pressure, and don’t feel the effects anymore from alcohol or caffeine (also blunted). For those who stopped SSRI’s, how long did it take you to get your emotions back?…
