I have cognitive impairment (trouble concentrating, working memory deficit, and forgetfulness/learning difficulty) and apathy (I feel empty (out of ideas), "tired" (trouble with energy) and I have no enthiusiasm or lust).

>Yes. Fortunately I'm not on SSRIs. I'm on trimipramine, which, among drugs classified as "antidepressants", is the best I've found so far.

>Yes, I'm interested in vortioxetine.
