You describe it so well. It's a terrible thing to have happen to anyone, especially someone in the prime of life who should be experiencing all of life's joys.
The things that happened to me within a few months of starting Prozac were (in addition to suicidal thoughts), an end to dreaming, loss of sexual desire and the loss of joy in life which you describe. I experienced less emotional pain, and both I and my doctor thought that meant the Prozac was working. I took various SSRIs for about eight years before I realized what a terrible effect they were having on me. It's been six years since I have taken them, and I am slowly returning to my pre-SSRI self. I think I'm about 90% of the way.
