In reply to fatigue or ennui? Or just the usual AD effect?, posted by Racer on May 8, 2006, at 20:21:53

> Lately, I've felt so fatigued, pretty much all the time. Dexedrine is not helping with it, which is too bad, and I'm basically feeling ready to throw in the towel and stop all the meds. It's not even a lack of energy, really, it's more a sort of ennui -- I can't seem to get motivated, to care, anything. My get up and go just got up and went.

Have you thought about giving Abilify a try? It probably won't bring you into a state of euthymia, but it can reduce depression and anxiety enough to take the edge off and prevent suicidality. It is weight-neutral. I found that Abilify has helped with motivation and mental energy. Just be prepared for the likelihood of it producing some restlessness, anxiety, and insomnia during the first week or so.

I'm currently taking:

nortriptyline 100mg
Wellbutrin 450mg
Lamictal 150mg
Abilify 10mg

Adding Wellbutrin helped initially. No more. My doctor will most likely raise the dosage to 600mg. I don't think it will help. I am not in a real good place right now.
