It might be worthwhile for you to switch over to Wellbutrin, which is a dopaminergic med. It and Parnate are the two most stimulant-like drugs in the antidepressant class. I have long term depression, social phobia, and some ADD symptoms, and I found both drugs very good for increasing drive and motivation. Wellbutrin SR is now available in generic form, which should make it cheaper than it used to be. Parnate is an MAOI that is rather expensive and is more of a last resort medication. Wellbutrin seems to be looked at as being quite a bit more innocuous than the stimulants, and many doctors who are resistant to prescribing stimulants will prescribe Wellbutrin.
