In reply to EMSAM vs Lexapro/Remeron to address apathy??, posted by maggiemae on September 11, 2011, at 15:00:12
Lexapro at higher doses turned off my irritability as well as my desire to do anything.
It was a lot easier on my sexual function than zoloft.
You could ask your doc about adding wellbutrin or desipramine to lexapro. desipramine is good on pain and wellbutrin can help with sexual dysfunction and libido.
Im not sure what effect emsam has on pain, but desipramine was good stuff for me.
Im not sure how you can escape the apathy from SSRI's. Every one of them does it to me, but the depression only responds to serotonin.
Maybe try serotonin receptor antagonists like nefazodone or the AAP's?
