Open original source ↗“I still feel so blunted.... I want to process and feel things, but I still can't... My cognition and memory is also very bad since the meds... I don't even feel anxiety and my my mind is so blank, I cant even ruminate anymore!”
- Cause
- fluoxetine/Prozac ~2 months (first med) for anxiety/insomnia/panic; blunting began on-drug (blanket at day 5); lingered after stop

- last dose 1 Oct 2025; ~8 months off at posting; still blunted, blank, poor cognition/memory
- Recovery notes
- Asking when emotions and libido return. Baseline before the drug was the opposite (overwhelm, rumination, crying). Commenter tildeuch said Prozac taming passed in ~6 months for them (weaker both-pole language).
