Hi, it's been awhile since I posted. I don't think my antidepressants are working anymore. I have been on them for years. I'm sleeping all day and all night. I wake yo go to the bathroom and get fresh water, that's it. I've had blood tests this last week so it's not anemia again. I have just no go in me. G

I can only speak for myself, but I find that when I have no motivation to do anything it is usually from feeling hopeless and depressed. Even if I am numbed from my drugs and don't feel too bad consciously there is something underneath that I am finding draining.

Do you go to therapy along with taking meds? Perhaps your therapist or journaling could help you pinpoint if there are any changes that have happened in your thoughts?

I wish you peace, hope, and strength ☮️

Sounds like it's time to get a medication check. Either a dosage change or a different med. Medications can lose their effectiveness when on them a while. Happened to me several times. My first two meds years ago(Prozac then Celexa) each lasted about 10 years. After Celexa there were many that didn't last very long if they even worked at all. A few years ago I became treatment resistant to meds and luckily my therapist recommended TMS.
