I have dysthymia. Yes, It was confirmed by a doctor. Lack of energy, motivation, desire to do anything. I am always bored. I have money, I have time, I can do whatever I want. But I have done everything already and I don't want to do anything anymore. I know, I know. Don't tell me there are an infinite number of new things I can do because my brain does not want to do anything. I am 41 and I am just tired and bored. Everything sounds like a lot of work for nothing.

Tried all SSRIs => prozac, lexapro and paxil. THEY DO NOT WORK FOR ME. They make things worse for me. I just get numb. It is like having a headache and fixing it by going to sleep. Not very practical.

So my question is simple: WHAT TYPE OF ANTI-DEPRESSANT SHOULD I TRY NEXT? What type of medication is the second attempt to fight dythymia when SSRIs don't work?
