Thanks for your story. I was sure I read that antipsychotics can help amotivational syndrome, but maybe not. I'm too depressed this morning to look for it, LOL! (My bupe hasn't kicked in yet.)
My pdoc suggested trying Risperdal…
But APs have such side effects! As you show.
I wondered about a low dose, on top of my buprenorphine. Maybe low-dose amisulpride (Solian), like Declan said?
If I can't get better at this motivational stuff through further cognitive-type work, I may have to try something like that. The low-dose amisulpride abstract said it works quickly.
Good luck with the Abilify! Please post how it goes.
