Is this the same receptor that is involved with lack of motivation with SSRI use (as mentioned in another post somewhere?) Would Ginko help with that? Antihistamine qualities in any drug ( like seroquel or cypreheptadine)make me so sleepy I can't function at all. (Even with provigil and dexedrine ER.) So I can't use those but I have to take an SSRI for suicidal ideation... and I think motivation is a big problem with me.
Thanks, River.
