In reply to Paxil and motivation, posted by Pari on April 3, 2001, at 23:31:29
Well, I am taking a tricyclic (Anafranil/Clomipramine) for OCD, an anxiety disorder and mild depression. So far, some progress has been achieved. Anxiety is 20-35% less but, I am at a point where my motivation has driven down again. In fact, today, I was praying that I could get my motivation in check and not fear that I am going crazy. I had a choice btwn Clomipramine and PAxil, no Paxil though b/c, at the time, I was on an anti-histamine (for most of my life) so major side effects were possible. However, now that I quit my Claritin in FEb, I would really consider PAxil b/c I just want to feel good/like me. I feel a sense of 'laziness' like you are explaining. I hope mine goes away by switching drugs or, in a couple of days.
