Well, its all relative. Coming out of a deep depression some people might not notice the ways in which their medication might be restricting their emotional function. Its the same with sexual dysfunction. Sure, there are some people that can take 60mg of paxil and still have decent sexual function, but they are few and far between IMHO. Of course I am speaking in conjecture, but I do believe that a very high percentage of people taking full dose SSRI monotherapy will eventually experience emotional numbing, in some way shape or form.
Of course, without a large scale study, nobody will know for sure, what percentage exactly.
