OK, Old School, I'm glad that you have found some relief from SSRIs, but I have not, and I know many others who have not. I understand that you are willing to put up with some side effects if the med alleviates some of the ways in which your depression manifests itself. For me, the most prominent adverse effects of SSRIs are the drug-induced apathy, severe prostration, and lack of motivation. Those symptoms do not represent alleviation of my depression; if anything, they indicate that my depression has been exacerbated.
