Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and joined to see if anyone else is dealing with this problem. In April I was started on Wellbutrin XL 150mg and Lamictal (titrated up to current dose of 100mg). After about 2 months, Lexipro 10mg was added as I was feeling a lot of anxiety. I've had depression since I was a teen (I'm 48 now) and was extremely reluctant to go on antidepressants because of a prior VERY bad experience, but things were spiraling out of control for me.
At my last visit, the doctor asked me "How are you feeling?" After a minute, I replied "I'm not." I don't think I have any true feelings - not happy, not sad, not angry - just not feeling. He said some doctors call this "chemical feelings" and said maybe I should come off the antidepressant. I don't want to do that, though, because for the first time in my life, I'm not crying, not angry, not having thoughts of harming myself or someone else.
Has anyone else ever had this experience? How do you deal with it? Did you're medication regimine get changed? I can't find any info on the internet about "chemical feelings", so any help would be appreciated.
I should also point out that I'm on several other medications for Type II Diabetes and high blood pressure. I'm wondering if there's some interaction with this chemical *****tail I take daily, but I've checked with the pharmacist and my psychiatrist who don't feel there is any adverse interaction.
multimedication [even with the doctors prescription ] is very very dangerous because its effects were never properly studied !!! please consult more than a doctor before deciding what way to take . best regards
