Eh?
Never effected me that way. In fact the numbness was during the depression. My husband can tell when it is hitting he says by my giggles. When I am going down first I don't giggle then I don't laugh at all. Nothing is worth more then a brief smile and I am so very tired. Like I am wrapped in a fog of numbness.
When the medication kicks in I begin to act normally again and he knows it has passed by the fact I will giggle at something.
Something is causing you to ‘go down’.
You need to find out what that ‘something’ is.
Putting a chemical band aid over a sucking chest wound is not the way to go.
I’m very sorry to hear that you’re suffering.

Most people including myself will tell you that they feel their normal self again. They work well for panic attacks too.
This is not a placebo effect because they actually make symptoms worse the first week or two in many people. This thread is full of misinformation. A lpt of the falsehoods have been brought about by tort lawyers and the Scientologists.
