It's possible that the medication could put a certain dampener on emotional engagement, especially if you're feeling a lack of emotion while on them already. My own medication tends to just make me feel very serene whenever I'm on it and tends to lower my own emotional engagement, though I don't really feel it inhibited me that much.

Anyway, don't worry too much about it overall, it should turn out alright. smiley Like Justin said, just try and adjust to the feelings and get used to the new state, that'll help a lot.
