A member asked:

Is there any way to counter apathy/feelings of indifference from antidepressants? would an addition of another medicine help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Another way: Not so sure you should just add medications to treat the adverse effects of other medications. Would far more urge you to seek out effective counseling, and start getting off the meds at some future point.
