Decreased emotional response on medication

Tags: emotional, Depression, emotions, negative, wellbutrin

I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 300mg for over 2 yeas with great success. But, I have noticed a decrease in appropriate emotional response to my own behavior in the last 6 months. Could the medication have anything to do with this??

I am not sure what you mean by appropriate emotional response? I have had the expirience of not having any negative emotions because of a medication I was taking for depression (Effexor). So I never felt bad, even when maybe I should have. It was a bit unsettling, but that effect eventually went away. I would ask my doctor or whoever prescribed the medication, if what your expierencing is a side effect.
Best of Luck to you.
You may find someone here who has a better idea than me, I just saw your post and felt maybe my expirience with Effexor, might help.
