answer:This is a very common side effect for many of these medications. You are trading depression for zombie hood. Anti-depressants flat line your emotions, good and bad. A double edged sword. You may need to have your doctor adjust the doses, and it can take several weeks for your body to adjust, however, I am not a fan of anti-depressants and my one and only experience with Paxil about a dozen years ago was horrible. I tried it during a situational depression during a divorce and yep, I was a complete zombie, hated it, quit after 10 days, never again. Situational depression is fixed by changing your situation but if you have brain chemistry issues that’s a whole different thing and I am not qualified to advise in that circumstance.
