Scott,
Ya know this is very non-scientific, but as Bush said I don't want to use the Googler. I was on ssri's for over 10 years and about a year ago, quit. I took an early retirement, so my stress level went way down. Man, when the meds cleared out of my system, I felt better than I had in years. On AD's I felt very emotionally boxed in. I told anyone who would listen, I would never take the drugs again. It was a pretty good run, it seemed like the rich emotion of life filled me again. Then I started having some symptoms and I told myself not to worry. I had the worst crash of my life in terms of intensity and duration. I should have know, since I have had many past events. I just thought without the stress and all.. I am doing better on the meds (including Zoloft) now. No mystery I feel emotionally boxed in again. Dopamine depletion? From a user standpoint, I would believe it. However, Zoloft is the drug that seems to get me a few rungs up the latter of mental health. Perhaps in the future, I can get my pdoc to look at some alternative meds to ssris. I have not tried any of the older drugs. I think like so many docs these days they are very reluctant to use them. Be well - Dave
