Sebastian,
Thank you so much for your post. I am currently taking 60mg Celexa, 400mg Wellbutrin (200mg X 2 per day), and 54mg Concerta. I will look into Zyprexa, but I really don't have a problem leaving the house. Its just that I always feel overwhelmed with everything and that I should be doing something other than what I am doing. Ex. Perusing Dr. Bob, when I know I should be balancing my checkbook.But again, I don't know if its the meds or me. I would definitely be willing to switch meds (perhaps an MAOI), but it seems somewhat futile until I can better relate my symptoms...
Sigh,,,frustrating,,,but thanks for your help!

> What meds do you take? What does your doctor say? Anything. How do you support yourself? You need a med that gets you out of the house. Ask you doctor for one that does that .. If that doctor can , get anouther one who can. How did the first dose of you med make you feel. Anything? It sounds like it worked, but you still need motivation, try a different med, or none (maybe you don't need them anymore?)(Probably not likely, but you never know). Some times the help of the med is so slow you don't notice the change. Maybe it would work if you just assume the med does this or that and it will, doctors are good at producing that; Do you see a psychiatrist? If you think you can you can. Give it a try.
