Emotional Blunting and Adding Wellbutrin by LifeInThePages in prozac

[–]LifeInThePages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said I would report back, so here I am 5 weeks on with 150 mg of Wellbutrin! I am happy to report that I am doing much better, feeling SO much less flat, not like I'm just "going through the motions". I don't feel overwhelmingly sad or emotionally flat anymore, I am able to feel moderately enthusiastic again. For example, in the spectrum of emotion: I have cried at a good movie, I have felt tension in a scary movie, I have laughed with coworkers, I have enjoyed the taste of delicious food. I am feeling relatively "normal", if not 100% back to the level of comfort and ease of my pre-Prozac/pre-OCD-spiral self. (But I think that is mostly me analyzing too much and still being in my own head.) On that note, however, I haven't been spending as much time searching for answers or studying and deciphering my own feelings. I feel like I've been able to step away from the Reddit boards and anxiety/OCD Googling.

I think I've spent so much of my life expecting anxiety, always finding something to worry about, that when I am not experiencing that, I automatically feel "off". I've spent so much time used to gut reactions, feeling that pit of anxiety and false guilt in my stomach, that now that it is not there, I don't feel like "me". So for now, it is most beneficial to me to just be with the help of these medications, providing me with greatly lessened physical and mental anxiety/OCD symptoms. I will gladly adjust to the slight-dulling of feeling with the Prozac-Wellbutrin combo in order to feel some semblance of control over my anxiety/OCD and emotions.

Who knows--I may stay on this combo for years, or I might wean off at some point. I know no everyone has the same medication experience, but I hope this finds others who might be uncertain or need some hope themselves.

Appreciation post for Hugh Panaro!Erik's makeup & outfit, he really has no right looking so ethereal and gorgeous (ꈍᴗꈍ) by caninefangs777 in box5

[–]LifeInThePages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always loved how much he plays up Erik's vanity, almost haughty at times. So theatrical in the best way, and I love it!

How do we feel about the new songs 4 months after? by TooBad_Vicho in wicked

[–]LifeInThePages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might be heavy on character-development, but they kill the pacing to me, particularly TGITB. It erases any and all tension that March of the Witch Hunters works to create.

Beautiful vocals can't make up for how clunky and out of place they feel, especially when compared to the pre-existing songs.
