Yes, I definitely know the feeling, or lack of feeling, you are referring to and I also need to be on meds for a similar type of 'over-active' imagination. There have been very few periods of time where I have been on antidepressants alone however; usually I am on adderall at the same time. What you describe are all effects I get from adderall as well though. In fact, during the few times I was just on an antidepressant and not adderall I felt these "negative" effects a hell of a lot less compared to when I am on adderall (either simultaneously with an AD or by itself). Adderall helps so much with my social anxiety however that I find myself willing to put up with these draw backs. Some of my personal examples: music isn't anywhere near as stimulating even though I still seem to be far more "moved" by music than others even while on adderall, a ton of my natural musical talent/rhythm seems to leave me, a ton of my natural athletic ability seems to leave me, my ability and desire to sexually fantasize as well as a ton of the pleasure of sexual stimulation is lost. Despite all of this I can tell you that losing all of these things is an absolute joke compared to the intense suicidal misery and 24/7 massive panic attack I am in while off of medicine, not to mention the complete inability to focus on any activity.
