@dr_teralyn: You look happier. Thanks—I am. I prioritize pleasure now that I’m not numbed out by an SSRI. SSRIs work by increasing serotonin in the brain, which can help reduce anxiety and depression—but they often do it at the cost of blunting emotional highs and lows. That includes numbing things like joy, passion, motivation, creativity, and even love. For me, it wasn’t just about feeling less sad. It was about feeling alive again. #MentalHealthRecovery #SSRIWithdrawal #EmotionalBlunting #TaperingJourney #PleasureIsProductive #PostSSRI #AntidepressantSideEffects #YouDeserveToFeel #NervousSystemHealing #HolisticMentalHealth look happier.” Thanks—I am.
