I’m not sure if you’ve tried this but just in case, ask your doctor to try other types of antidepressants which might not have the same effect. One pill might totally numb you but another might leave the highs alone.
I hope you and anyone else reading this can find something that works for you!
He still needs time to catch his breath. It’s like how getting a single good night’s sleep doesn’t leave you fully rested but it’s still important to do.
