My primary symtom is apathy. Zoloft didn't help at all for that. I think it just got worse. Paxil, Prozac, Celexa all seem to do that. They remove the lows, but the highs too. Everything becomes regulated and flat. These drugs are lifesavers for some, but the apathy thing can really wear a person down after a while, and SSRIs are notoriously guilty in my personal expereince. John.
