Hello,
>low-sex drive, no energy, I feel completely lethargic and apathetic
These are common SSRI side effects, there are other possible explanations though. For me, the apathy tends to set in a few months after taking any SSRI at a high dose. In this state, I can hardly be bothered to breathe. These symptoms are oh-so familiar to me after taking several SSRIs for OCD, anxiety etc. I'm not on an SSRI at the moment, I came off Celexa 60mg a few months ago and have started to feel a bit more alert in the last few weeks.
Have you ever tried fluoxetine (Prozac)? Some people find it less zombifying than other SSRIs.
Ed.
