I don't think GPs post generalises well(nor does any simple statement on psychopharmacology, everyone is and reacts differently), but I've spoken to many people who have reported emotional blunting from SSRIs. It's a fairly common complaint. Being "upbeat" from antidepressants also happens a lot to people with bipolar disorder, who are often misdiagnosed with and mistreated for depression before their first episode of hypomania/mania.
