That describes me as well. Have you considered ever trying a low dose of prozac. Like take a half of a 10 mg pill every other day. It kinda helps with motivation. It doesn't make you bounce of the walls or super excited, but it atleast you feel like doing things.
For me it increases motivation more than pleasure which it only slightly increases. Its sort of impossible to increase one without slightly increasing the other.
Just to be sure, this wasn't caused by SSRIs for you it came out of the blue?
This link describes how I feel, althought it didn't come on slowly. It started exactly 3-4 weeks after stopping prozac.http://www.psychotropical.com/Patient_information_Mental_anaemia.shtml
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety, this is NOT depression!]
Current med: 100mg pristiq
