hi. can you get a new shrink? not to sound too critical, but your current shrinks sounds...not so great.

anyway, there are other ssri drugs. good ole prozac can get the job done w/ less apathy, etc. than zoloft. zoloft (aka: soul-off) does a number on frontal lobe function, more so than the other ssri drugs (I think...). anyway, the de-activation, mixed with a touch of stimulation, can help some people, its a nightmare for others. I'm thinking you're in the 2nd category.

adding wellbutrin might help. then again...factor in drug-drug interactions, that could make the apathy worse and add more stimulation. it is a relatively common maneuver, though.

maybe a non-ssri option? remeron+wellbutrin, remeron+a stimulant (if that's an option...), remeron+effexor or cymbalta....

sorry this is happening. zoloft was a nightmare for me, too, and it kind of snuck up on me. it wasn't until id tapered off that i realized: whoa there, I was living in an apathetic, angry haze...not good, not good at all.

hope things get better for you. :-)
