> I need some motivation because my lack of motivation interferes with my quality of life and is quite severe at times. Even though I don't experience major depression since being on Stablon, I still feel amotivational. Basic activities are a burden for me. Mostly I just want to sleep all the time or just sit at my computer and listen to music.

> I don't like being this way and no drug but Pamelor (nortriptyline) has worked for this, however I can't take that anymore due to the large number of side effects I experienced...especially cardiotoxicity (e.g. arrhythmias, rapid heartbeat).

> I developed an amotivational syndrome when I was 15 years old, approximately 18 months prior to my first panic attack. The amotivational syndrome coexisted with depression.

**Sukarno, I have the exact same amotivational issues you mention above and know what it does to one's life. Have you tried Abilify? It worked GREAT for me, until I developed mental confusion, jumpiness and cognitiion problems. Maybe you would not have the same side effects... It was really the best thing ever up until then. Just a suggestion.Be well,
Suzie
