Problem was, I didnt' care about much of anything else, either.

That's exactly the effect it had on me, too. On Zoloft I felt like a blank sheet of paper. I switched to Paxil and felt a little more "present," but I remember saying to my therapist at the time, "I can't imagine falling in love while on this drug, because I can't seem to muster up any strong feelings about anything."

If you do decide to get on one of the SSRI's be forewarned that getting off of them can be very tricky. Whichever one you start taking, google on the name of it and the word withdrawal and note the stopping process. Paxil is notoriously hard to discontinue. Some people take months to taper off, literally shaving bits off the pills to gradually decrease the dosage. It isn't a question of take a pill every day, then a pill every other day for a week, then off. Coming off of paxil I had some of the worst anxiety attacks of my life. Of course, all that anxiety may take your mind off no sex... (sorry... bad joke-- just think this through carefully).
