I’ve been taking SSRI’s for a couple of years now, (sertralin) and its helped quite abit. Dont have the symptoms described by the OP although anti-dep medication does dull you out abit. Its like cutting out the highest and lowest emotions making you more stable. Id recommend trying it out but only after consulting with your doctor. Lately I’be been trying to get of it though and have bought some CBD oil instead for the anxiety. Im planning on doing alot more exercise and going low-carb (keto diet) as a way of trying to lower my anxiety and improve my general health, mood etc But as a way of coming over a hurdle or getting started with life or just lowerint anxiety I’d say SSRIs can be very helpful, just dont think of them as a miracle cure. They do come with side effects also
