This is super common. I know a bunch of people who feel like they lost emotions because of Zoloft… like yes it helps with depression but can also be numbing. Also yes about the weight gain!!!

I’m on lexapro and I have the same thing. I can’t cry no matter how bad I want/need to, and I’ve been gaining weight.

I definitely have felt something like this, I haven’t been able to cry since I got on it and I am having the weirdest feelings that I can’t explain, like emotions only ghosts would be able to feel. You could try a different med for a short period of time or lower the dosage and add something else to it??
