You may not have gotten the right medication for you. I am on antidepressants, and I still have normal emotions. They are just not exaggerated like they were. In other words, when I do get depressed, it is not that deep dark depression that used to push me over the edge.
You owe it to your family to try. It took my doctor 2 years to find the type of meds that were right for me. I just told him why I felt the others were not working right for me.
Some made me gain too much weight, some made me emotionless, some made me anxious and hateful, some made me almost suicidal, some just plain did not help me. After trying about 5 different ones, I ended up on Celexa, which has helped me for the last 8 years with no side effects. If your psychiatrist is not patient with you, find another one that will be. I found a great one. He was able to release me from therapy, and just give me meds once we found the right ones.
My family and friends have told me how much they hated the person I would become before, and how much more they enjoy my company now. You should try for your family and friend's sake. You will be much happier too!!!
