Has your imagination declined since you've started meds for whatever condition: depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, anything. For me, I think it has.
I think the reason I needed medication in the first place was because I had an over-active imagination (which caused delusions and hallucinations and depression and euphoria) but now I have an under-inctiave imagination (basically feel numb) and it is just as bad in different ways. What is the average imagination like? Can you imagine having sex with someone for instance? For me, I can't unless I'm on drugs of some kind (I'm not talking about antidepressants here, I'm talking about the so-called "bad" ones). I can't put myself into a fantasy situation, I can't daydream, and I believe it is in part due to the meds I'm on, or if not the meds, then at least some neurological deficiency. When I remember past events, I remember try to recreate a snapshot of the situation and then I will think of a one-line sentence to describe what happened in the photograph. Reminiscing about the past doesn't make me happy or depressed. I don't really feel much at all.
Am I thinking too much or is this a legitimate side effect of antidepressants that is hampering the quality of my life?
