SSRI stands for 'selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor'.
SNRI stands for 'selective norepinephrine (or British, noradrenaline) re-uptake inhibitor.

They're both types of anti-depressants but one works more on serotonin while the other affects norepinephrine.

Some common SSRIs are Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, etc. Effexor & desopramine are more SNRIs, but with a small effect on serotonin too. If you go to PB & ask others who had better results with an SNRI than a SSRI, & whether the SSRI caused blunting or apathy, you'll probably find more answers than I can give you. Try including "SNRI helps apathy?" in the subject line to garner interest & answers.
