So, I have always considered myself an ambitious and motivated person. Well, after a little over a week on Pristiq I have NO motivation! None! I could sit on the couch all day playing video games or even be in bed sleeping all day and be perfectly content. Getting up to do anything seems like a pain.

Granted, I never want to do chores but I do them. I am always up for some exercise, doing the bills, or going out to be active BUT since Pristiq I've had no motivation to do any of it!

I really hope I break out of this soon because nothing is getting done. I am also noticing my appetite is back, even a bit on overdrive. So no exercise and extra food. I wear a fitness tracker and typically get 8000 - 13000 steps in on any given day... well since Pristiq it's only been 2000 - 3000!!! I am sure the weight will be pilling up on me quickly.

I slept for 15 hours both Saturday and Sunday! And this dry mouth is killing me... my TMJ is acting up now because of it.

I'm not sure if I can go another 5 weeks, at this rate I'll be 20lbs heavier by then!
