That is something you have to watch for.
Don't let doctors try and patch up their mistakes with more wrong decisions. I was a patch up job for years, untill I started to take some charge.
Don't let the doctors convince you that you had some latent psychosis or something. If a drug makes you psychotic, then discontinue the drug, and wait and see for yourself. Believe that it was the drug and not you.There is a tendancy for some meds to help anxiety *via* creating apathy.
For many years thats all I could achieve. Oh sure, we'll take away your anxiety, but we'll also sap your zest for all other good things.
Preventing apathy requires you to have the best base med possable, and then take as little else as possable.
Stay away from the atypicals if you're not psychotic.
