Hi Blueberry!
> It is just my opinion, but I believe apathy and lack of motivation is a hypo-dopamine thing. Sometimes it is a hypo-norepinephrine thing, and sometimes a mix. Rarely is it a serotonin thing. Actually, serotonin meds usually tend to make it worse, because they are squashing out dopamine and norepinephrine. Just my thoughts though.
Yeah I think that would make sense, like why the SSRIs didn't help.....
> I'm not sure, but do you have the antipsychotic amisulpride (also known as deniban or solian) in your country?
Very interesting.....I'm going to add it to my list of things to try and ask the doc for. How does it differ from say, the stimulants etc which are involved with dopamine?
Anyway, thanks for the post!
Kind regards
Meri
