Yeah, meds that increase serotonin can indirectly reduce other brain chemicals associated with motivation.

If the lack of motivation was accompanied by other symptoms of depression, then yes the depression could be the culprit.

In the very least, venlafaxine isn't addressing the neurobiology associated with your lack of motivation.

At most, venlafaxine improved my sleep and anxiety (and perhaps sadness). I have had to use other medications to address motivation.
