> So does anyone know if the emotional blunting effect will just wear off, or would we need to take some action, like another anti-depressant (scary to me, a drug to counteract another drug) or should we push for counselling?
Answer: No. Emotional blunting doesn't usually go away, although it may lessen.
Answer: Yes. Switching to another antidepressant is a good idea if you want to pursue medical treatment. I don't blame you for being scared.
Answer: Yes. Counseling is a good idea - with or without medication.
Question: How do you know that she is emotionally blunted rather than experiencing some other mental state? I am very curious.
Question: Why was she given antidepressants in the first place?
Question: Is she seeing a specialist in biological psychiatry?
This must be tearing you apart. I'm sorry. I hope you can help to restore stability and happiness.
