Hi. I have suffered from depression since last 2 years and for that I took ssri - escitalopram 20 mg for 3 months and duloxetine - 40 mg for 4 months in all. I am off all drugs since march 2020. Fortunately I have not felt many withdrawal symptoms and come off it much easily as compared to others as I read. Currently though, I am feeling emotional numbness/ anhedonia, which is inability to feel anything. This is also hampering my ability to think clearly, and rationally and remember things. I felt it since I started drugs. But now it is improving. I am currently taking 1000 mg of fish oil only and it is helping me immensely to manage my depression. Do I need to take any other drugs/supplement for faster recovery or should I wait to recover it naturally? How much time it requires to improve?
