In reply to Zoloft and laziness!, posted by ed_uk on December 24, 2004, at 10:17:23
Hi Ed,
Sertraline (Zoloft) is besides fluoxetine the only SSRI I've tried and this with great success. My daily dosage is 100 mg/d. Together with trimipramine, sertraline is my basic combo med.
Nervertheless I'm on the lookout for augmentation, specifically to address the lack of motivation/drive, or as you put it aptly, laziness. This results in my apartment looking as if a bomb hit it, and I'm also too lazy to even brush my teeth or take a shower every day. Since being a kid and even during my worst depressive episodes througout my life, I religiously took care of my dental hygiene.
I attribute my current laziness to sertraline, which is interestingly also used for treatment of OCD. Seems that too much OCD action by sertraline makes me lacking motivation/drive, especially when considering that I haven't suffered from OCD.
In this respect I might even need some drug that actually induces OCD behaviour, thereby compensating sertraline's action.
