Motivational problems were among my symptoms and I feel it's only gotten worse. Before i couldn't get going and worried about it, now I feel I can't get anything done and don't especially care. So I wonder if I'm on Lexapro and SSRIs simply do not agree with me.

I feel the same way, I don't really care about anything. I'm on ten mg.'s of Lexapro and twenty of Ritalin. The Ritalin works for about two hours. So the way I feel is, I get to live feeling alive two hours a day. The other 22 I get to be walking and working and thinking nothing. I'm truely hoping to find the right addition to the Lexapro that will keep feeling good at least five hours.
