> Anybody else out there suffering from a complete lack of motivation on prozac? I've been on it for years and am no longer depressed but I swear if I never did anything but walk the dog, nap and watch TV I would be perfectly happy. Well, not perfectly...

This is a common side effect of SSRIs in my experience and one of the biggest reasons that I started trying other classes of drugs. My thought is that the norepinephrine and/or dopamine system becomes atrophied under long term SSRI use.
