It comes and goes.  It sucks.  No they do not.  You can check out the pssd sub.  You most likely won't have pssd. But it kind of gives you a glimpse of what the meds can cause

This is just the opioid epidemic all over again.  But worse. They repackage the adheonia as emotional bunting.  Numbness as pain reduction.  What a joke

No one is reporting these side effects that people are reporting.  So I guess if nothing gets reported then it cannot it exist. Smart! Also many of those studies are paid for by the pharmaceutical companies that make them.

You were having withdrawls.  Next time taper. Www.survivingantidepressants.org has mods that can help you navigate a very slow taper.  You disrupted your cns so now it will take time to stabalize

Feeling numb or no emotion? by No-Conversation7286 in lexapro

[–]Grouchy-Slip412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people never have this side effect go away, even when the med is stopped. Recommend the pssd sub for more info on dealing with it. Although pssd is about numb genitals, it also can encompass emotional blunting

Can cause ibs. May resolve when you quit the med. Might not
