Anti-depressants have emotionally numbed me. I don't feel anything. But, I still feel empty inside. Will life get easier?

Is being emotionally numb the price I have to pay to beat depression? I'm on Prozac and Olanzapine. I feel empty. Life still feels like it is full of suffering, although I am numb to it now? Any advice.

 

[yep]

How long have u been on it? I've never had any luck with anti depressants, they tend to make me feel worse. Ask your psychiatrist for a change in med a or just to stop them in all.

It's never happened to me, on countless antidepressants, I'm guessing it's the olanzapine though because I think it's a common side effect of antipsychotics
