> I do not think Zoloft would be nearly as likely to cause the flatness that Prozac caused. Prozac causes flatness in me whereas Zoloft mostly does not. I cried very easily and felt empathy on Zoloft though. I admit there were occasional moments of flatness though. All of these drugs sort of flatten emotions on some level, that's why they are effective.
My problem is flatness. I'm trying to cure anhedonia, not sadness or despair. When I feel suicidal I don't feel despair so much as a pointlessness to go on because nothing brings me deep joy anymore. I need a cure for that. Stimulants and opioids haven't helped. I also need something entactogenic. I know longer get good feelings cuddling or being intimate with another person. Perhaps there is a need for balance. Perhaps I need an increase in serotonin with an increase in other neurotranmitters. Pristiq increased sexual sensitivity and sorta started to help with feelings so maybe norepinephrine is needed. Nardil would add dopamine, even better. I would think taking nardil would cover all my bases, and like I said, I had a family member who responded to it after having no response to doxepin, lithium, and haldol.
