New here and wondering if flat mood is a starter thing

hi everyone. I'm brand new, only a couple of days into this, and I'm trying not to overthink every little feeling.

I usually get a tiny lift from my evening routine: one crossword, a mug of peppermint tea, a podcast I've heard a hundred times. Last night I made the tea, opened the puzzle, and just felt sort of gray and uninterested.

Not sad, not hungry, just flat. Food doesn't seem exciting or gross, it's more like background noise.

I know starting something new can make nerves do weird things, so I'm hoping this is just an adjustment phase. For those who've been here longer: did any of you get a temporary mood dip or a nothing-sounds-fun patch early on, and did it lift?

I'll mention it to my prescriber too, but I wanted to hear real experiences. Thank you for reading, and sorry for the nervous first post.
