The problem with this medication is that it doesn’t really address the underlying cause of what you’re feeling. It mainly suppresses symptoms, and for a lot of people it ends up numbing them emotionally, almost like a zombie state. And when you’re that numbed, you lose the drive to actually work on the things that triggered the depressive state in the first place. So yeah, it can blunt the suffering, but it also blunts the motivation to fix what created it.
I'd quit the root of the problem instead of hurting my body even more with what you wrote.
