Hi Ed, Prozac was the least sedating SSRI I took (I've taken them all), and it actually seemed to help my ADHD symptoms somewhat (5-HT2c antagonism?). Zoloft was worse for word-finding difficulties than Prozac. As far as apathy goes.. they all caused some apathy, but I'd say either Prozac or Zoloft were about the same in that respect but those two produced the least apathy of the bunch. Had more jaw-clenching/teeth grinding and restless legs on Zoloft than I did on Prozac. Zoloft seemed to work better for anxiety than Prozac, but Z made me a lot more nauseated than Proz.
