Marcus King Reveals Depression Medication Leaves Him Emotionally Numb, Unable to Feel
What was said
"Even at my grandmother's funeral, like I just felt nothing. I just felt numb. And like I didn't notice it until I got into a situation where I was like, this woman raised me and I can't feel anything."
Musician Marcus King disclosed on the Joe Rogan Experience that his prescribed antidepressants caused severe emotional numbness, preventing him from feeling grief at his grandmother's funeral. He described having to try multiple SSRIs before finding one that didn't completely block emotions, and expressed fear about what will happen when he attempts to wean off after a year and a half of use. King revealed withdrawal symptoms include severe headaches and body tingling, and that his doctor consistently discourages stopping the medication.
