Hello,
I can relate to you lack of motivation and apathy, as I suffer from it too. I call it my 'depressive boredom'. I just don't seem to be intereseted in anything! I've tried Effexor and most of the SSRIs, but none have helped. Infact I think Effexor tended to make me more apathetic. I hoped 40mg Prozac would help, but all that has done is exacerbated my anxiety and made me very jittery. My doc has now lowered my dose to 20mg.
Maybe Ritalin may help, but I think, as a stimulant, that will just have the same effects as Prozac and make my anxiety worse - or in your case - make your manic episodes worse.
