hmmm, well, apathy is a major complaint of all the SSRIs/SNRIs for me. But the SNRIs might be slightly less offensive in this regard. Generally speaking though, I'm quite confident that noradrenergic drugs do help with motivation and focus. Of course, too much noradrenergic activity can make me feel overly-sensitive and irritable (see my posts on Savella). Another related benefit, I find that I have a significant amount more physical energy and endurance (i am a long-distance runner) on the SNRIs vs SSRIs.
