> Mike, I had similar problems after I came off Paxil 40mg/day. The apathy did go eventually but it took much longer than 2 months. Did you take the SSRI for depression or anxiety (or something else)?

Actually paxil was the SSRI that I think started all these problems... it's surprising that it takes that long for you to normalize considering paxil is out of your system in no time but I took the drug for depression and at first it worked great but then I started experiencing the problems I listed above and it has now caused more problems then I had in the first place...it is reassuring to think that possibly abstaining from meds for a little while long could alleviate the apathy problem..
