As was expected based on family members' experiences with the same medication, I have gradually become an emotionless zombie generally detached from the experience of life. I feel like a spectator merely watching my life go by, rather than an active participant.

That's life. If you think you had a different experience before the meds that's because our brains do a post hoc rationalization of events. You do, and then maybe your brain wants to take credit for it, maybe it doesn't. Either way, you didn't come up with anything, it simply happened and you're along for the ride.

sounds like you simply became aware of the reality of being
