It is worth noting that although a reduction in the intensity of one's emotions can be beneficial during negative states, it can detract from one's well being in equal measure during more positive emotional states.

Emotion suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[sedation]], [[thought deceleration]], and [[analysis suppression]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[antipsychotic]] compounds,<ref name="~~NIDS~~"/> such as [[quetiapine]], [[haloperidol]], and [[risperidone]]. However, it can also occur in less consistent form under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] dosages of [[dissociative|dissociatives]], [[SSRI|SSRI's]], and [[GABAergic|GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]].
