> I tried Paxil for a period of time for depression. It increased my anxiety and gave me tremors. I am currently on effexor which works better for me, although it is causing MY INSOMNIA TO GET WORSE. I do not think the paxil is causing your apathy. When I was in the worst of my depression I felt like you desribed. Apathetic and not caring about anyone or anything. I could not cry no matter how bad I felt. The pills gave me my emotions back! So I wouldn't worry about that, just give them enough time to work.ADs can cause "apathy." Dr. Bob has a bit on this in psych tips. Search under "SSRIs and apathy" or maybe just "apathy."
