I've been in college and i used to be very focused with my education, but now i have no motivation. everything's pointless. i've tapered off zoloft.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatable condition: Loss of motivation may be due to re-emergence of depression associated with tapering off of zoloft. Sometimes there are also easily treatable medical causes for people to lose motivation and slip into depression (deficiency in B12 or vitamin D, thyroid issues, for example). Regardless of the cause, you don't have to suffer. Please speak to your doctor to get to the bottom of this. Good luck!
