Thanks Jake, this is really useful. I've upped my vit C intake and that is helping, but will investigate other things too.
Other SSRIs have been activating for me too, oh well, it's a funny old game!
Thanks for replying

In terms of basic nutrients, I would make sure you are taking a good dose of B-complex with folic acid & C to help with energy levels. You may also want to add in acetyl-l-tyrosine (I like Source Naturals) on an empty stomach to provide support for dopamine. I find that fish oil really helps in this area too. Then sometimes I rely on NADH and/or Rhodiola if I am really dragging and want something fairly quick acting. SSRI's overall tend to be stimulating for me so I have to be careful when augmenting them with other activating type supplements. And it goes without saying, different people get different effects from pharmaceuticals and over the counter supplements.
