I have been through a lot and I can tell pretty quickly whats going on. Meds aren't the only solution, but they play a big part in how you feel.
I'm on Saphris and I take 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 at night which changed from taking 5mg nightly a few weeks ago. (Did this because taking it all at night was too stimulating, I would get restless leg and was having trouble falling asleep).

And yes, I feel mildly lazy EVERYDAY... I just have the mental block of really wanting to do anything, fun stuff, chores, whatever it be, i'd rather sleep lol... and Idk if I'd call it depression cuz I'm not exactly "sad" more just calm, bored, and "zoned out" if that makes any sense.

But also I wanted to say I love my meds! If I go a day without taking them, or sometimes even miss one does, I feel like a crazy person haha. I get very manic, irritable, anxious, impatient, etc.... my meds keep me "normal". I think i'm just bored and sleep a lot because I have nothing TO do with my day, I don't work and I only take night classes 3x a week so my day is primarily spent sleeping, watching tv, and being on the internet.

I know I need a hobby... I've been meaning to make a "vision board" collage out of magazines and internet pics... something to do that will give me motivation for a "better" happier, healthier life.
