How do meds affect your emotions and fears?

Never thought of this. I think it's made me less emotional. I had mood swings without medication, but now that I take lamotrigine to stabilize my mood and Cymbalta to improve my anxiety, I think I'm more stoic and unfeeling.

When I initially started taking prozac my anxiety and depression was just absolutely maxed out especially because it was after i had my daughter and my already bad mental health got worse when the postpartum depression hit , I couldn't watch horror movies or true crime at all when I've always loved them, I couldn't listen to most music without crying, I couldn't be around people, I couldn't be around loud noises. It took me about a year maybe a year and a half to feel better even on the prozac and actually be able to enjoy things again, to feel normal again. I think you'll get there, there is just too much going on in your head right now and you need to be gentle with it for a while.
