I think that I'm also depressed so it's hard to say whether it's the blunting or the depression that is causing me to not find joy in anything anymore. I used to write songs, play guitar and keyboard, basically be a creative livewire. I sit for hours at the computer, my work is from home so I have no excuse to have a shower and get out into the world and haven't made an excuse either. Although I did just get back from a girl's getaway in Panama City and I found I was almost manic when I was there, bounding out of bed (I sleep until Noon usually) and attacking each activity with gusto. Then as soon as I got back home I slipped back into the routine and feel blah.
I'm on my first day of 5 mg of Zyprexa down from 10 mg. My PDOC wants me to stop after a couple of days of 5 mg. I hope I don't have anxiety or insomnia or any other withdrawal. I've only been on Zyprexa for about 10 days. Before that I was on a trial of Seroquel which bombed. Anyways we shall see how I respond without and AP. She has Topamax in mind to try next if I am not stable without Zyprexa. This is so frustrating trying to find the right med or no med balance.
