What anti-depressants are good for anxiety and motivation? - Livia - 01-27-2011
I have no motivation or drive, but I do have lots of anxiety social mostly. What medications are good for this but won't make me tired all day?

It's not my place to answer that properly as I'm not a doctor, but you should go see one. They can prescribe you an anti-depressant that will do just that.
Good luck

I take generic Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) with dinner, for depression and anxiety. I've been taking that for over two years, and it's working very well for me.
The Wellbutrin SR seems to help me to be more alert and active - and wanting to do things - while the Lexapro makes me more mellow, and it helps me sleep better, too. They are relatively low doses of each medication, which keeps side effects at a minimum. I really can't tell I'm taking any medication at all.
