Anthony,
Thanks for taking the time to post this. I've printed it and shall take it with me when I visit the pdoc. I could find almost nothing in the literature.
I know that this problem doesn't affect everyone on SSRI's, just as I've been lucky enough to escape many of the side-effects that others complain of. Thanks to Psycho-Babble, I also know that I'm far from being a minority of one.
It looked to me as if there might be some correlation with what would be diagnosed in the States as adult ADD, not the easiest thing to convince a British psychiatrist of! This and the slow time-course led me to suspect the involvement of noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic systems, which some meds for ADD affect, rather than cholinergic, which ondansetron seems to influence. There's so little evidence that I know of, however, that I could easily be wrong.
Best wishes,
Jonathan.
