For hypo-motivational symptoms I think the best meds are the ones that focus on norepinephrine and/or dopamine D2.
For me what has worked incredibly well is the combination of Adrafinil and Zyprexa, both at minimum doses, with a little Prozac in the background. These three meds, in my opinion, should be put at the top of the list before anything else. Any one of them, or any combo of them. I am a little biased because they have worked so well for me, but there is also plenty of evidence suggesting these are top drugs for hypo-motivational symptoms. Amisulpride is a strong contender as well instead of Zyprexa.
