Sometimes they do, it means you're probably taking the wrong one. I took Zoloft for about a year and felt like a zombie the whole time. When I switched to Welbutrin, I felt much better because I was able to feel highs and lows again without feeling like I was losing control of my emotions. Turned out I only needed the Welbutrin for a little while, (they call it a "ladder" or a "bridge") and now I'm off them completely.

No. I'm on 2 antidepressants for depression and fibromyalgia and I experience joy and sadness just like everyone else.
Now, I had to work with my doctor to get the right dosage that worked for me and didn't have many side effects. Some antidepressants have sexual side effects such as anorgamia (inability to have an orgasm), weight gain, and sleeplessness. So, if you are new to antidepressants, I would recommend that you keep a diary of your feelings and any other side effects that you are experiencing. Note the dosage that you are on and the time of day when things feel the most abnormal. Take the diary with you when you have a follow-up visit with your doctor so that you can inform him/her of everything that is going on--you can't remember everything and the diary will be a life saver and help to dertermine if your dosage or meds need to be changed entirely.

No. Properly administered and taken, it allows people who take the antidepressants to feel the normal lows and highs.......as people who do not need the medication feel these. If something else is happening, the person and the med need to be re evaluated!

No! Antiderpressants help people reach a baseline. Then, people still need to have healthy coping skills to deal with life. One need to feel and be part of the world.
Antidepressants lessen the highs and the lows! I hope this help!

NO, all antidepressants do is replace the neurochemicals you lack which promote the depression. They enable the person that takes them to think more clearly and reasonably so they can then sort out the issues that led to the depression to begin with. Medications alone do not cure depression, they only aid in making it possible for some sort of therapy to work.

Yes. Drugs manipulate your neurotransmitters. You won't feel anxious or depressed, but you also won't feel joy or happiness. You'll basically go around feeling neutral.

No, they just allow you to feel normal. They balance your seretoin levels, they don't take away regular emotions, they allow you to cope better.
HTH : )

I think it depends on the medicine, and on your chemistry, but for me, I think sometimes that might be true.
