I think you're right on cue.
It really depends on your initial symptoms.I felt emotion very intensly to begin with.
After my burst of anger, and irritability, I would cry bitterly at a sad song. I hated the person I was. I just couldn't find any restraint, to both my emotions and my mood.
SSRI's really helped dampen my emotion, they stoped the songs going through my head like a broken record. They helped me to sleep. They mainly helped me because for the first time I was laughing, and that really relaxed me.
But you are right, some people are the exact opposite. They are apathetic, they don't really care, they oversleep and overeat. They respond better to things like TCA's, effexor, parnate, Wellbutrin etc.
It really depends on your initial state.
My main point is that everybody is different, and that it would be a mistake to make dogmatic broad-spectrum statements.
Take care, and I hope you find what works for you.
