In reply to Effexor Apathy. Should I try a stim? Help please, posted by jay on March 5, 2003, at 8:05:24
Anxiety can be a syptom of so many imballences,
in the brain. Keep in mind that your genetics
determine the different developement rates
of neurotrasmitter systems.For instance, girls generally have more sophisticated dopaminergic systems early
in life (hence better grades, handwriting etc)
but, later boys later take the lead at
adolecence.I was a very unmotivated child, but now I have
bipolar disorder (characterized by periods of
extreme motivation)Personnally, I would look to your current symptoms.
Why did you choose an antidepressant?
How much effexor are you on now ?
Without any meds, what would your symptoms be?
You might consider Wellbutrin.There's no reason you can't consider a stim,
if you have little concentration/motivation.For apathy, you can try a stim, MAOI, Wellbutrin,
You might even consider fish oil, which does miracles for my motivation, (studies show it can dramatically enhance dopamine function)Good Luck
