Abilify for me tends to "activate" me a bit--but it seems to do so by lessening negative ruminations. Lamictal helped me stabilize moods, but did not really help with my motivation.
Have you talked to him about wellbutrin to help with that? And this is very tentative suggestion--but I am on a low dose of the antidepressant desipramine, which works more on norepinephrine, and it seems to cut through the fog and apathy of my depression. But in any case, I now wonder if it is a depletion of norepinephrine that is involved in the amotivation and apathy and braing fog from SSRIs.
Just a thought. Check with others and your pdoc before taking this idea more seriously.
