Dear Practo User. Thanks for sending across your query. It’s common for anxiety medications like Flumet Plus, Lonafest, and Ketrip to cause emotional blunting—feeling numb or unable to cry. This isn’t unusual, but it’s important. Please consult your GP to review your medications and adjust your treatment for better emotional balance.
Next Steps
For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.
