I have been taken the SSRI Zoloft for exactly two years and then quit properly after gradually decreasing the dose according to guidelines. While on it I had an emotional numbness and anhedonia that I thought would go away after the end of the therapeutic period. Unfortunately it has not. It has been more than 2 months now that I have stopped taking it and my feelings are no more intense than they were while I was on it.
1) How do I overcome this? Has anyone else been through this? Does this go back to normal after some time or have I permanently damaged my nervous system?
2) Has anyone tried psychedelics after this? How did that go?
3) IF you believe that this can eventually go back to normal, do you have any ideas about how to speed up the process? Any supplements or practices?
Thanks x3!
