Author: u/Regular-Grand4957

“I felt a crawling numbness/emptiness overcome me and since then, I've lost all my emotions, have blank mind and tinnitus... crying and feeling nothing inside. [1gcuh8k: I have bad blank mind... If I smile or laugh, I feel nothing inside.]”

Cause: r/covidlonghaulers first-person OP u/Regular-Grand4957 (post 1hqha6u; 19F): visual snow syndrome after migraines ~3 years earlier, COVID at least twice, mild anhedonia/DPDR before. ~Aug-Sep 2024 took a supplement stack (NAC, magnesium glycinate, iodine, vitamin C+D, an expired probiotic per 1gcuh8k) and felt 'a switch flipped' -> lost all emotions, blank mind, tinnitus, lost interoception/proprioception. Unused supplement-trigger-on-post-viral lane.
Duration: ~4 months at Dec 2024 post
Recovery notes: No recovery; 'Nothing brings me comfort or relief.' Author notes it resembles antidepressant withdrawal but never took antidepressants.
