Most antidepressants increase availability of serotonin (eg SSRIs), that reduces sensitivity which helps them cope with stress and makes people feel less defeated.

Too much can make people feel numb. And even more can make people feel like a zombie.

SSRIs include fluoxetine (prosac/lovan) fluvoxamine (Luvox), sertraline (Zoloft) paroxetine (aropax) and others.

On the other hand, the SNRIs increase availability of serotonin but also increase noradrenaline. The effect of Noradrenaline is increased energy and activation, but that can translate into worsening of anxiety or increased intensity of Distress.

Always talk to your prescriber before making any decisions about treatments.
