How does medication improve your emotional reactivity?

Hi! It would be really interesting to know your experiences on how medication affects your emotions, and in particular your emotional reactivity.

Sometimes for me, it is often enough to read something about a topic that’s sensitive to me to get a bodily reaction. I don’t feel an emotion right away, it’s just a tensing and more or less automatic.

I wonder whether medication might help here - and particularly how it changes this - and am curious what you can tell me :)
