I feel numb!

Hi all,

Just wanted to throw this out to people, since I don't know if anyone has felt like this.

Basically it's new year's eve, and I feel emotionally numb. In fact, I have felt numb for quite some time. I can't figure out why. I do have panic attacks regarding certain perceived imaginary diseases, but I can't remember ever having felt numb like this. It's not that I feel tired, like I want to sleep all day, because I don't.
I wake up at 8 am and go to bed at 10 pm. And I don't sleep at any other times in between, except for maybe a short afternoon nap.
But it's just that I feel emotionally numb, nothing gives me joy anymore, I don't look forward to doing anything anymore, don't have any drive to do much. Anybody has ever felt like this?

I have currently just started 20 mg of fluoxetine (prozac) per day, and am on day 3, but I hate this feeling of numbness. I have been feeling like this for the last 3 months, and I am so sick of it. Does it ever go away? I want to feel something again, I feel like I am emotionally dead.
