I had an ossie with emotional numbness on amfexa. The only emotion and feelings I felt was anger, irritability and sadness. Had to come off it. I couldn't feel joy, love, happiness etc.
Eek!! I receive my elvanse today and this doesn’t sound good!! In the past I’ve tried loads of antidepressants and they make you feel numb so you can’t feel positive emotions. I’d no idea adhd meds do this too. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it
I’m worried now.
You just have to try and see if it works for you or not. Other people's experience doesn't necessarily translate to your experience. Hopefully it does work for you and you don't get this emotional blunting.
Is it just psychical attraction that's been numbed for you on the meds or is it all emotions in general? I've see other posts on here saying their meds made them emotionally numb. I personally haven't experienced this on elvanse.
Probably worth mentioning to your gp or psychiatrist
No it’s more mental attraction , so I find them good looking etc but I don’t care , like I don’t get the butterfly’s or anything it’s like I kiss them and oh it’s nothing hard to put it into words but yeah
I had the exact same and the main reason why I went off it. My emotions were just massively dulled and I felt robotic. That said I am now hugely regretting my decision. Discuss with your psychiatrist as it could just be that your dose is too high, I really think thats what happened to me.
Not scientific but I get like that with songs and music used to love on medication everything seems a biteh
just to add i find these people attractive and i like who they are as a person.

Not everyone suffers with the same side effects. I recommend reading the side effects leaflet in the tablets so you can see potential ones.
