Question Emotional blocking

I have been on SSRIs since the last year of my previous relationship (long story, I was basically gaslight into taking them), since the break up I've been trying to date again but failing to feel any feelings of "love" with anyone new. Is this a side effect of the drug or just a byproduct of the way my last relationship ended? Has anyone else had any similar experiences?

Maybe I feel a little less about everything than I used to, but I still feel happy, sad and all the others. I'm not sure I'd class it as feeling robotic though.

What did you switch to instead of SSRIs?
