I can't cry

I've been on prozac for years and I don't ever feel sad or cry. Not even at funerals - I find it strange

    I don't think that's the problem... Phycopath's can't cry. Do you feel apathy all the time? Despite the fact you have depression? Have you felt it most of your life? Like you can understand human emotions, but you just can't feel them? Because I do.

    • Actually Phycopath's can cry but only for themselves. Im ASPD, the next step down from phycopathy and we cry it just isn't heartfelt...

    My understanding was that that was the whole point of Prozac - to feel nothing? I didn't even know Prozac was still around, I thought it had been recalled.

    I know what you're talking about. You kind of feel numb after awhile. Isn't that what you wanted though? To not feel sad?

    If it worries you, you might want to ask your doctor about changing medications. I had some issues with lithium and they resolved when I started taking something else. Are you like completely numb, or it just that you don't get really depressed about things?
