Hey guys, well to put it in a nutshell when I got older I literally lost complete interest in EVERYTHING it seems like. The only thing that seems to make me find interest in things again is weed. Most people will pretend like they understand and just tell me that everyone loses interest in things as they get older. But in my case I literally don't find it fun to do anything unless I smoke weed, everything without weed is just extremely boring and it seems pointless to me. I don't even smoke weed that often maybe like once a month to be completely honest because I'm an anxious person and I don't have many friends to hook me up so it's not like I'm psychologically addicted to it or anything. But the reason why I am asking this question is because I really want to know what could be the cause of this. Could it be a lack of dopamine? Norepinephrine? Serotonin? All of them combined? I really don't know but I really would like to. What antidepressant would be the best antidepressant to combat my lack of interest in everything? I don't care what type or form of medication it is. Is there an antidepressant that would help out a lot if I potentiated it with something? If someone could PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I would appreciate it more than anything in the WORLD!!!!!!!! I am beginning to just give up and just pretend that I am having fun doing whatever I am doing and that's not working out at all because I almost think I'd be better off dead. Nothing terrible or even remotely bad has happened to me or my life recently. Anyways if someone at all could help I would seriously appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well Neversick one thing I thought could hold my interest was Call of Duty Black Ops II Online but even that couldn't hold my interest and I used to absolutely love playing shooting games online. And Benny I am 22 yo, I take Seroquel, abilify, guanfacine, and tramadol. And my interests and passions have always been video games online as sad as it sounds, I would probly have a passion for basketball if I wasn't such a shy person I love basketball. But I don't even find online video games remotely fun in anyway whatsoever anymore.
 
There's nothing wrong with this, I'm in the exact same position right now except my only thinking is I'm bored of video games.

Xbox live recently required that you need to re-sign in with your email and password, course a year and a half ago it was 10:30 at night and I thought "ooh yeah thats a good password I'll remember that" NOPE.

So I tried all the recoveries and sending a million messages to Microsoft and tried calling them but that didn't work.

Lost so much Cod time. And I'm bored of constantly grinding so many hours on MMOs like I did when I was a teenager. I calculated just how much of my life I did spent on video games and I didn't like it.

So yeah I don't have Xbox live anymore because A) I lost my account and B) I had JUST paid for a year subscription a MONTH before the freaking thing happened.

Don't freak, I'm maturing and finding different shit more interesting. Like moving and looking at real estate and DJing and shit. Don't freak. Just relax, your growing up.

The prescriptions will of course have a factor but I am sure that your doctor has your best interests and is a very good doctor with just reasons.

I went through similar stuff. I know it's a stock answer, but as you get older you just don't have the energy (and by energy I mean the active drive) to constantly be passionate about all these things. That's why as people start to get "older" they pick up a hobby. One thing you can get passionate about. Whether that be a sport, or brewing beer, or gardening or something, try picking one activity (other than games, which I know are so awesome, I'm a gamer too) and see how it goes. This is just part of life. You also might want to talk to your doctor cause some of those meds can make you very lethargic.
 
Well thank you all very much for the support and advice everyone I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. And NeverSick the magic in life for me is definitely hanging out with my friends most of all, I love hanging out with my friends cause it definitely makes everything a hell of a lot more fun no matter what it is. I really want to move in with my best friend eventually but he lives in Pennsylvania so I got to save up enough money to move up there first.
 
FA Im the same way, its definitely a symptom of depression - and for me (and possibly you) my depression stems from my anxiety. Well except maybe exercising, but I have a feeling that the only reason I enjoy that is because of the endorphin rush I get. You might just be burnt out from video games though, sometimes it happens to me and I end up taking amonth or two off and find myself right back into it. Lately though I've completely lost interest in console gaming, maybe because console games are way more fun with friends and I haven't had a real friend in I don't know how many years :(
