I’m totally fucked up but I can’t even cry

Guess it's due the medication I've been taken. It's so pathetic how it hides our emotions

How are your lithium levels?

I don't know yet, my psychiatrist told me to do a blood test to see lithium's level but I haven't done yet

And that can be your problem why you are feeling the way you are. Get your levels checked. ;)

I used to breakdown and cry and could hardly get a word out when trying to talk to doctor about how I feel,that was when I was on Prozac,I got changed to mirtazapine 45mg and it has that effect you at describing where you just don't seem to cry or get upset in the same way. You still feel depressed and all the pain inside but it's like the body can't express what the brain is feeling. I have foilind this good in helping give out the info of tlehat I'm feeling but I get told or they think I'm making it up or trying to sound worse than I am because I am not breaking down in years. That's why I only see my original doctor who has seen me in my in medicated state so believes me when I tell him things. So for me it was the mirtazapine that made me seem outwardly calm and emotionless regardless of what I'm feeling.

It permanently killed mine. Plus my sexuality. Not likely to happen to you but I feel like I should warn. It's up to you but whichever you feel you can do without maybe think about. Psychs will tell you you need everything of course. The lithium is least likely to cause "PSSD" as they call it. Venlafaxine can though. It's rare but it happens. Wish you the best.
They should really go back to MAOIs and benzos. They can cause problems too but these fucking numbing agents they've come up with are worse. Be mentally ill or an emotionless, sexless robot. Thanks for the choice.
