I honestly don't remember, sorry. I just vaguely remember reading some things on PubMed about high dose SSRI drugs (I think they were treating OCD) leading to fairly obvious hypo-frontality. Kinda makes sense...some shrinks have compared the SSRI drugs to a combo of Ritalin and Thorazine, in one pill.
As for things persisting...I would imagine its possible (?) . I don't know if it'd be so much persistent amotivational syndrome or whatever as..."tardive dysphoria" is what I believe they're calling it...when treatment w/ an AD makes the long term course worse, not better. Similar to "tardive psychosis..." both are under-studied, for obvious reasons.
