Brief Answer: Try few stimulant Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query. Few patients feel such problem due to chronic depression. If your mood and biological activities are normal, then, you can try few stimulant like modafinil or armodafinil after psychiatrist consultation. Start any of them from basis dose and can increase according to response. That would keep you active. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Regards Dr. Abhishek Kapoor Psychiatrist
