      The same thing happened to me with Prozac. Imo, it's worth getting off of it. You can try other meds, there are a lot of options. When I got older and had my mother come to an appointment with me to help me remember all my meds (I've been on so fucking many) when the doctor asked about Prozac she told him "he was like a zombie. No emotion, no passion, no interests or hobbies." I still struggle to find the right medications, but I'm loads better off Prozac and on other things. My passions came back

      No. I have probably been on it for 30 years. It does not do that to me. I also take 100 mg. Could it be the depression that’s causing it instead? Could it be reacting with another medication maybe?

      So I’m on 200 mg because I have severe depression, moderate anxiety, and moderate to severe OCD. For me I didn’t become numb, Zoloft just too the edge off of everything and evened me out. If you’re feeling numb even to happiness it sounds like you need a different medication or a combination of medications. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Definitely reach out to your therapist about it, because you shouldn’t be feeling completely numb especially after a whole year on the medication. It’s not like you’re just going through a transitional period getting used to the meds since it’s already been so long. I really hope you start to feel better 💕
