I'm glad someone brought this up (and this can definitely be medication-related, so I hope MODERATORS don't remove/move this).I've been jobless now for about 5 months and have had periods of time in my life of joblessness up to a few years at a time. With the problems that many of us suffer with depression and lack of motivation plus the effects/side-effects of the meds we take, I wonder how anyone can hold down a job for an extended period of time (and, if they lose that job, how they can ever muster the motivation to get out there and get back in the work-force).
That's where I am now. Unemployed and completely unmotivated to get back to work, despite being on Parnate which is keeping me out of the depths of depression.
I'm considering switching back to Nardil with the hopes that that gives me the motivation (or lack of anxiety) to get back to work. Any thoughts on that???
Seriously, how the heck do any of us hold down jobs?!?!
