It varies. It turned out I had bipolar disorder so I felt like my brain was being turned inside out.

Different people react differently

For me, after upping my dose to 100mg / day, I started to see the ground warp in front of my eyes and I walked around with a stupid grin on my face most of the time because I was high enough not to be sad. It's not happiness, it's more like being too drugged to know better.

It will probably either end up numbing your emotions or exacerbating them

It varies.

I didn't know I had bipolar disorder so I had worsened anxiety on one, switched to another and had a manic episode.

Not saying this to scare you. I'm on a mood stabilizer now and it just makes me feel more level and like it's easier to function. Like even if I am depressed that day it's easier to get out of bed. So I imagine if your med is working right for you that's how it would feel.

Just be cautious, call your doctor if it makes you feel worse emotionally or you feel like your emotions don't match what's going on around you. Don't try to tough it out. Good luck.

Totally numbed my anxiety.

Then started to numb everything else. Life had this airy, 'dreamlike' quality to it that after a while actually became quite disturbing. Wheened myself off them and never looked back.

My depression has mostly been intense feelings of loneliness, isolation and paranoia. I'm hoping these antis and psychology visits will sort me out
