I had never heard the term before you, but I've been on Effexor since the summer, and recently started Neurontin to stabilize my bipolar (although I'm having my doubts about that . . . although there have been SOME positive results there).
But still low to no motivation. UGH. Just trying to "accept" that sometimes I just need to "rest", because I don't have the resources inside to "give" to anyone in much of any capacity right now.
Trying not to label myself . . . my husband has been great at accepting and learning that I'm having trouble. When he's home, he fixes me things to eat, because I don't for myself. Things like that that there's little to no motivation for. He fixed alot of my banana splits last week, lol!.
I like your "progression" thingie. Funny! I think that way myself, too.
With the Neurontin, my focus has gone down the drain, and that compounds the little to no motivation problem. Even when I can summon some up, I frequently cannot do whatever it is for more than a few minutes. UGH.
I am so glad that you posted. It is "nice" in one way, to know I'm not alone, but in another way, wishing that someone else didn't suffer from it either.
