SSRI-induced Apathy - short OR long term use?

Posted by vic80 on March 9, 2010, at 3:53:16

Do ssri side effects like apathy/anhedonia develop over a short time or a long time use.
(in question escitalopram 10mg upped to 15 mg recently)
(By short time I would mean 8 weeks...)
Would a lack of initiative, indifference, inability to feel surprised/moved, lack of motivation, inability to feel moved by remembering past events, inability to look ahead to the future, inability to feel inspired and blank thoughts (especially blank thoughts) qualify as "apathy". (no dysphoric/depressed moods anymore).
Or would this be simply residual depression?
