In reply to long term effects of SSRI's, posted by milena esherick on January 18, 2000, at 22:02:45
> I am interested in learning more about the long term (5+ years) effects of SSRI use. In particular, I am interested in finding out more information about apathy caused by SSRI use. Does anyone know of any internet sights (in addition to Dr. Bob's) that might be helpful? What has been published on this topic? I only seem to be able to locate information on the short term or immediate side effects of SSRI's. But I want to know about the consequences and risks of long-term or life-time use. Thanks for your help.

Seven years on Zoloft.....no problems so far--but maybe the Zoloft is why my hair is greying...and not age?! Best side effect for me--no panic attacks, anticipatory anxiety. Just tried to cut dose with goal of getting off it, but the panic crept back.....I'm sold on it. Used to worry about effect of Zoloft on body (cancer?) 20 years down the line, but I need to live my life now.
