This may sound a little strange, but I've taken psychiatric medication for about twenty years, now. And, I firmly believe that if something "foreign" is put in your system for an extended period of time, there will be a price to pay.
In this case it's a double edge sword. As the meds affect the nervous system (and I believe one's pain threshold as well) they are bound to form a "physiological" response. What I mean, in terms of personal experience, is this:
Once, while cutting posterboard with an X-Acto knife, I slit the h*ll out of my fingertip. Had to go the the emergency room to get it checked out and get some shots. Yet, with all the "unpleasantry" of the situation, I was not in much pain.
And, during the winter (and, I'm talking the coldest days of the year) I can go out into the backyard, in a t-shirt and underwear, and hardly feel the cold.
I can speak for all the guys out there, but in my case it's a matter of my nerves being coated by medication and it's "residual effect."
Sounds crazy? Yeah, maybe so! Still, I hope this makes a little sense.
