In reply to Apathy on SSRIs, posted by automatedlady on June 3, 2002, at 19:40:11

There has been a lot of info on the SSRI induced apathy problem here on this board as well as other places.

I'll put in a few links to posts I have done on this topic, and some to other sources of info.

Ritalin for SSRI Induced Apathy

Here is a link to an article in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry on Antidepressant Apathy Syndrome

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20020425/msgs/104624.html

Just search this board using the keywords "apathy" and "SSRI". For better results, use the advanced options so you can pick all years and only hits with both words.


> I've been on Effexor, Prozac and Celexa (although I'm now told Effexor isn't an SSRI- I have a stupid doctor..) On each I had the same reaction - a few weeks of feeling more awake and able to socialise and get things done, followed by a crash into a total lack of feelings or interest in anything. After a few months of this I'm in a worse state than i am off ADs. It's been suggested that a tricyclic called desipramine might be more effective for me. Does anyone else have these problems with SSRIs and what works?
