Why don’t I notice them… I am convinced 1000000000% it is sz. Seems to think its not only about deep depression, depression manifits in different ways so just because I don’t get suicidal doesn’t mean I don’t get depressed.
I don’t think I get depressed, I more think that I get miserable. I think there is a difference.
Apparently feeling empty is a sign of depression too… it doesn’t always include feeling suicidal.
You could be schizoaffective which is basically like schizophrenia but with mood swings as well
I think that it’s difficult to analyze ourselves sometimes.
Listen to your bf and of course the doctors
Do you take something to stabilize your mood? Does it help?
I wonder if empty/hungry counts?
I don’t take anything other than Abilfiy which apparently is supposed to also stabalise moods.
You may need to be on an official traditional mood stabilizer @anon25873142
What happened to Tegretol?
They took me off this some while back as I didn’t want to be on too many meds but I will ask the next time I see the consultant… he wasn’t in on Thursday when I went for the appointment…and didn’t bother to tell me this,
I’m only on an extremely low dose of Lamictal and it’s still keeping my moods on the higher side of things.
I am in the process of raising my Risperdal as well
I really want to reduce the antipsychotic and add a mood stabaliser but will speak to the pdoc what will work best… lamictal was really good but gave me side effects, i was chewing the inside of my lip…weird.
I understand the feeling of wanting to reduce meds but in my case things got better with heightening my ap and adding an ad. I hope you find a combo that works for you.
The problem with ADs is , the last one caused my psychosis… so I need to be careful with them… I hope to add a mood stabaliser as mentioned though
