> I have often thought that the popularity of ssri's is due, in large part, to this problem. Apathetic patients don't complain to their doctors much. No matter how terrible their lives may be, apathetic patients may just shrug it off, so their doctors may be led to believe that their patients are much better than they actually are. And some doctors who just want things to be nice and easy and who don't do a d**m thing to help their patients, like ssri's because their patients call them less and make no demands.>>Lexapro was very effective for my social phobia. And not because I was suddenly more confident or anything - I simply stopped caring about other people. I also stopped socializing, because it didn't matter to me. So far all the reuptake inhibitors I've been on ('cept Wellbutrin) have done a good job making me complacent in my withdrawn states. :(
