Good question Phillipa. I know I have severe lack of motivation with anxiety/depression both but SSRI's no good. Wellbutrin helps a tiny bit but not great. My pdoc wanted me to try Effexor but I hesitate due to the fact that many people claim the withdrawal is horrible and just stay on it forever. I don't feel motivation to do much of anything especially in the winter :( I wonder then if I am not severely depressed if nothing will help me. Sometimes I want to ask for Vicodin because as you said once, when I broke my ankle and injured my elbow needing surgery it did make me feel less depressed??? Now I am getting more and more depressed just thinking about these drugs not helping so what do I do?
