I know what you mean about going back on the ssri, that does seem to help, but its not ideal i want to be free of this stuff forever!! lol,I think most people will recover from ssri induced apathy, I have been going through it for a few months now, since discontinuing citalopram, which I had taken for 9 months. I think it takes a long time and exercise can be helpful. da agonists could be helpful in providing us with motivation, which may help get the blood and dopamine flowing in our brains again, thats my theory. The reason da agonists could be useful is the fact they can be used longterm. I think we need a boost to get fully back into life then the body may take over. We need to keep a positive attitude any negativety only inhibits recovery, although I know it is hard though. Anyways I'm gonna give very low dose Bromocriptine a good go over a long period of time along with some good lifestyle choices and see if I get anywhere. Also hopefully a very low dose of a dopamine agonist should'nt be very stimulating like amphetamines, so it may help restore interest in life without causing anxiety and restlessness.
