As stated in the title, I have some left over porkchops. I cooked them in the crockpot. I'm wanting to try and make like a creamy porkchop and rice to meal prep with the left overs and looking for ideas.

I'm 28F. Recently started Sertealine for anxiety and depression They prescribed 50mg but told me to take 25mg the first 2 weeks. I've also been taking Clonidine to help with anger issues since the beginning of April. The first few days were really rough. I was exhausted, overly emotional but didn't want to get out of bed or do anything, and I didn't care about anything. I had a psychiatry appointment and during the appointment I couldn't stop crying.

Fast forward to today and I've just been feeling emotionally numb. Like I don't have any interest in doing anything, eating doesn't feel important, it's affected how I am at work, hygiene doesn't feel as important as it used to and I'm constantly waking up in a sweat since I've started the medication.

I constantly feel like a shell. Like I'm just getting up, going to work, and getting home and going to bed. I have to force myself to shower and eat.

At times I'll have short bursts of that happy feeling but they dont usually last long and I end up back to feeling emotionally numb and like I'm just going day by day.

I've called the doctors office that I go to and they said they would relay the message but the psychiatrist wasn't in today so I haven't heard back yet.

I know they say not to stop a medication like this cold turkey but I hate feeling like this. And when people at work are pointing out how much I've changed in just 2 weeks of starting the medication (not in a good way) then even I have to admit that this may not be a good medication for me.

I did do some digging and saw some stuff about how the emotionally numb feeling goes away after a while, but how long does that take and does the feeling actually go away? I'm not completely sure what to do at the moment since I've called who I can and the only thing I can do right now is wait on a response, so I guess I'm just venting.
