I had a suppressed drive when I was in a 6 month depression episode around age 16 and have had less of a drive recently going through med changes and only recently starting to view myself as bipolar (diagnosis I only heard of a month or two ago, though it was apparently given in August after I had an insomnia fueled episode). There was a period of time in 2001 where I also had a somewhat deflated drive. But fortunately, it went away and I didn't have issues with it even on Lexapro, except for the first few hours after taking it. So even if your drive feels gone temporarily it's prob not extinguished. Mine definitely came back and was great.
