What Causes Loss Of Pleasure, Motivation, Fatigue And Low Energy?
Question: What's wrong with me. I can't even get out of bed except to go to work
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Here are my thoughts.
I suspect based on the fact you are on Prozac that this may be a symptom of depression. Anhedonia, loss of pleasure, loss of motivation, fatigue and tiredness, low energy, these are all depressive symptoms.
You may benefit from an increase in your Prozac, addition of an augmenting agent such as Wellbutrin or lithium, or the addition of psychotherapy such as cognitive behavior therapy. With this treatment, you will feel better!
Please let me know if you have any further doubts.
