I just wanted to say, that I really believe that if SSRIs are bringing on apathy then they are not really working. When I took SSRIs and they worked my emotions were much sharper but the downs weren't so low. I could feel things more and there was no apathy at all. This time round though, initially I felt really agitated on them, that has now subsided and all I feel is exactly as you describe like I have no emotions, I'm managing quite well at work, talking and smiling at people but it feels like a mask and I feel like a fake. So I do not consider these SSRIs to be working based on my own good experiences of them in the past.
