In reply to Best Meds to treat amotivation, posted by Mishal on June 11, 2007, at 23:20:44
I have recently had good luck fighting amotivation and anhedonia. It may be a little premature to count it as a succes, but I am very optimistic at the moment. I have suffered from lifelong anhedonia and lack of motivation in extreme degree.
My meds at the moment are as follows:
Reboxetine 4 mg
Prozac 20 mg
Mianserin 60 mg
Amantadine 2 x 100 mg (added recently)I have noticed that Mianserin does not have the usual sideeffects when used in this combo (sedation and overeating). It just helps me sleep at night.
At the moment I feel fairly energic and motivated, completely different from anything I have ever experienced before. At the same time I feel very relaxed and see no sign of hypomania. Even my sexuality has started to wake up after many years of "hibernation".
I hope this can help you.
