> Are there any meds that help with task initiation? I struggle to get going on tasks. I tend to feel extremely unmotivated to do anything, and I can spend hours doing pretty much nothing but lying on the couch and daydreaming and watching YouTube videos.

With mild to moderate depression, one feels frustratingly lazy. This often includes fatigue and difficulty initiating activities. Sometimes, irritability occurs as well.

For me, I have received the maximal benefits from venlafaxine 300 mg/day and lamotrigine 300 mg/day. Is it possible for you to increase the dosages of both drugs?Lamotrigine usually doesn't work for depression (bipolar) unless the dosage is 200 mg/day or higher.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
