How much should I realistically expect an antidepressant to do? Yes, I am miserable, but maybe it's just me. I don't have a job, I don't have a focus in life, I don't do anything but sleep and eat too much. I have no motivation to do anything at all. Is that depression, or am I just lazy?
I am asking b/c I have tried a string of antidepressants that have had little effect (or some effect that has died out over time), so if it's not the meds, then maybe it's just who I am (lazy, unmotivated, etc.).
I just started taking Parnate, and I do hope that that will do something for me. But how much should I expect a drug to do? When is it depression and when is it just laziness and lack of motivation?
