I just wanted to reply that all the SSRI's gave me the "numbing emotions" along with aggression, irritability and insomnia. I have gone back to the tricyclic elavil to get back sleep and calm me down. The downside to this is carbohydrate cravings. Currently I am on 60 mg. elavil and 25 mg. of nortriptyline (another tricyclic). I found that when I upped the nortriptyline to above 50 mg. I had problems with no sexual desire.
I don't know if this helps in anyway to your predicament but I'll be keeping in touch with this thread to see how things work out for you.
I also live in Canada and was wondering about Remeron. I have tried Serzone but couldn't stay on it. Anyways, good luck and if you have any questions, let me know.
