Help Medications to Turn Me Numb

[Mebius]

Anyone with experience with medications, can you guys help me with recommendations on what to take? I dont think I can go on without having to numb everything. I only took pregabalin and it works quite ok, but I would like to know about other medications I can take for anxiety.

Well it's considered a bug not a feature, but many antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs) make some people numb. They are prescribed for anxiety as well as depression. If shutting up the anxious thoughts is what you're after, it might help.

This is something to discuss with a pill dispenser, aka psychiatrist. They will want to take any medical issues into consideration and still you sometimes have to try a few different drugs to see which has the most pros vs cons. Understand certain cons of certain types, like the possible addictive issues with benzos.

SSRIs/antidepressant haven't given me that numb feeling but a higher dosage of adhd medication have made me felt numb, almost robotic feeling. The day went by so quick and I wasn't consume by anxiety for once in my life; I was tempted to keep using it at a high dosage just to get through life.

Risperidone, Clonazepam and Citalopram worked for me just fine. And when I say fine, I mean shit. Being numb sucks, it's like a emotional limitation.
