ggggg123,
Call me the exception to your rule, but I never felt like a zombie on any of the SSRIs that I took. Unfortunately, the story is different when it comes to antipsychotics. Saying that a medication will do this or do that is only so helpful in my opinion because it fails to take into consideration the wide range of responses that different individuals can have to the same medication. I'm not saying that there isn't any truth to the reports that we hear of people experiencing side effects like apathy and anhedonia on SSRIs, but to assume that *everybody* who takes an SSRI experiences these side effects because a few people on the Internet do seems to be a bit shortsighted and misguided.
