If I'm a bit absent, this is why. I have been for weeks.

I'm sorry to hear that Exo, that sucks. I've had friends and close family that have gone through this kind of stuff. Is the depression coupled with anxiety?
Someone very close to me has taken similar medications in the past and has claimed they have induced this numbing feeling you're referring to. They told me it made them feel like a robot and made a lot of simple joys very fleeting, despite the fact that it did address the depression.
I don't want to pry into your life, but if there are underlying events that are overwhelming you, therapy can sometimes help (depending on the situation). Problem of course though, is that it isn't cheap.
