> zyprexa is actually a dopamine blocker. It blocks the d1 and d2 receptors. It can cause loss of motivation and perhaps apathy. Sometimes, however it is not so bad. It does not block the d3 receptor and so more avaiable dopamine can reach the D3 receptor wich can be involved in anhedonia.

I don't get it then. I mean why would they prescribe it for unipolar depression (in addition to my regular A/D) to help boost my A/D effects. Because it's supposed to help with anxiety? Do I then have to choose between anxiety and apathy?

I am so tired of not caring about anything. I want to want something, you know? I want to have a desire, fulfill that desire, and then take pleasure in the fulfillment. It's been years...
