Dear FB,
I have unipolar depression but took lithium as an augementer and had a terrible time on it. It made me a zombie and made my hair fall out. We're all different and it is considered the gold standard of mood stabilizers. I think you have to talk it over with your PD.
I wanted to say that I too am tormented by a lack of motivation and it is terrible. I have a faint hope that it is in part an artifact of the APs I'm taking but I really think it is part of my depression and I too am tired of pushing all the time and trying to have a "good" time. I just made plans to take my first vacation in many years and my primary feeling is I don't want to go. I just can't imagine what I'll do to have fun and I don't really want to leave my home our my stuff our my dog. How sad. Nothing in the whole world calls to me. The lack of motivation, the deadness is the worst loss for me.
