Yeah, parnate made my mood very dark. It made everything super serious, like something really serious was happening (like I was fighting a war or something). The drug did get me up and going, but not in a way that I found particularly comfortable.
In addition, the insomnia was pretty bad. I think that apathy is really just a form of neurological stagnation. Its like a river that has become dammed up. The brain has a symphony of everchanging brain chemistry. If a drug boosts any one neurotransmitter too high it may prevent the natural flow.
Believe it or not, some studies actually link "elevated dopamine" to apathy. Its just like how apathy is can be a side effect from amphetamines.
