Hi Mav,

I also have substantial difficulty with "mental energy or motivation." (incidentally, Agomelatine seems to give most of its users more mental energy, so maybe down the line it could be helpful).

Other thoughts:

Red Bull makes you feel well for a couple of hours, but caffeine doesn't, eh? Perhaps, then, it might be the taurine in red bull, rather than caffeine, that's helping you? You could grab a bottle of Taurine supplements and see if that helps you, maybe? FYI there's also acamprosate, a prescription drug which (as I understand it) is a modified form of taurine that penentrates the blood-brain barrier better.

...A drug that has a reputation for being relatively safe and increasing 'goal-oriented' behavior is Pramiracetam. I've never taken it, so I can't confirm that, but its cousin Piracetam did help my motivation slightly, so maybe there's something to the anecdotal reports. I'm not sure any of the other 'racetam' drugs are good for that, though. Anyway, I thought it might be something to consider.
