I don't like my medicine
| But sometimes the emptiness goes away and instead I feel like crying, not sad but I want to cry and I then force myself to hold back those meaningless tears
| I am the same, but we just have to live with it. sadly no better alternative exists
| Try taking it at night. I'm on Seroquel, and it does exactly what you're describing, but if I take it at night before bed, those effects are almost entirely gone and I just feel more normalized. Not desensitized.
| maybe is a side efect, you shoul talk about it with your doctor
| Two years ago I used to be prescribed antidepressants. I stopped taking them and I got better. Its just me but I would stop.
| I second talking to your doctor. Ahedonia is a side effect for anti-depressants and the like. I know it's hard, but please keep trying. It'll be worth it.

I agree too. Your doctor will know more about the medicine prescribed and it's side effects.
Keep going OP. Don't give up so easily.
| I wish you luck, OP. Stay strong.

Seconding this. I had the exact same experience years ago. Mind you, getting better won't be easy. I'm convinced that you can't get better by staying in your medication. Think of it like this: the medication is only meant to stabilise you're emotional state in the short term. From the on out you'll have to go on without it.

| I take medicine for, well, emotional problems...
And I know it's prescribed and that the doctor won't give bad stuff
But...
Whenever I take it I feel empty, not happy, not sad, no anger, no love, nothing but emptiness, it's great for work where emotions can be a problem but I feel it's getting in my way when it comes to having a normal life...
