Well, I was thinking that if you are happy, perhaps the medication is working and you are having side effects, such as apathy. In other words, when your medication works we often feel generally good and happy, but sometimes suffer side effects. Sexual side effects, apathy, detachment. If you are not happy and feel down a lot, then most likely the medicine is not working and your apathy/lack of motivation is just a result of your untreated depression. It's difficult to tell what is caused by what. Medication or depression? But I'd say if you feel depressed, down, then you are just suffering some of the luggage that comes with it, and maybe should consider a switch.
Hope that makes sense.
Take care,
Charlie
