Hello Perfunktory!

Welcome to Psycho-Babble! I've had problems with apathy too. I just wouldn't care about school and would not study.

I thought it was the SSRI that was causing my apathy so I convinced my pdoc to lower my Celexa. I got much worse. I was sleeping all the time and just didn't leave the house. Then my pdoc decided to increase my Prozac and I got much better! So my apathy may have just been caused by underlying depression and not meds.

You can experiment with decreasing your meds slowly like I did to see if you improve or get worse. You should do this while being monitored of course.

I hope you figure out a way to get some motivation and drive back again.

Deneb
