I feel this way about my job, too and it is the briefest employment I have ever had in my job history (most jobs held 8-10 years, only at this one 1.5 years). Can you pinpoint your restlessness? Another poster mentioned some big changes in her life - is something like this going on for you right now? Depression can really make me feel apathetic and unsatisfied, too.

I'm trying to find other things to generate enthusiasm, outside of my job. I need to be there for my family right now, so feel a little stuck at work. Is a transfer or promotion possible that might make your work more attractive to you?

I’ve been trying to find sources of fulfillment outside of the workplace. I'm trying to switch my focus from "live to work" to "work to live", and see if this brings me more satisfaction. I'm trying to do things that bring me more sustaining gratification, like writing and painting, and other avenues to improve my lot such as volunteering and taking classes.

In a round-about way, to answer your question, I do feel this, too. Some friends and I call this feeling Sunday Dread - it slowly builds until by Sunday night I am anxious and despairing about going to work on Monday.

Hope you will post again, write further about your thoughts, any plans to deal with it, etc. I'd be interested....
