Lack of energy/motivation

Been on Weg since late Jan, currently on 1mg. Since being on 1mg I've been having a serious lazy spell. I have no energy/interest/motivation to do anything lately. Beach, outing, nope. Store, shopping, naaah. Cook ...hell no. Chores, uuuugghh. I've read where fatigue is a side effect, but to me this isn't fatigue. I'm not sleeping all day or feel tired, I'm just not in the mood to do shit. I know this is going to be bad for my already slow progress. Any suggestions to getting over this lazy couch rot side effect? I've thought about bringing this up with my PCP but, like, how do I go about asking my doc for some prescription strength caffeine pills? Lol Idek if there IS any such Rx.

The meds decrease dopamin. Reason I stopped smoking after two weeks, and there are first studies to use these meds for alcoholism etc. Certain triggers don't make you happy anymore. Including food, probably one reason why the food noise dies down.

But it can go broader for some people. I am still hoping that online shopping and biting my nails will die down, but nope.

Biting my nails has certainly not gone down. Shopping has! I now have to force myself to look at clothing in the stores.
