I would ask a question and as soon as they answered I could care less. another guy described it a living trapped in a box with your thoughts and everything else is just outside it. To be blunt I didn't care about anyone...and I didn't care much about my hobbies or other things. I did have a good sex drive though!

> This experience was similar to the way I felt on Abilify and Latuda, both which share a similar mechanism (I can't recall it exactly off the top of my head...5ht1-a antagonism maybe). Made me feel like I might be a psychopath out of sheer disinterest in other people.Wierd. I haven't experienced any apathy of this sort. And it's not a 5-HT1 antagonist, in fact it's an agonist and 5HT1 agonists are usually associated with anxiolysis and antidepressant effects.
