Thanks bleauberry. I actually have experienced these issues when I was totally off medications about 15 months ago. I agree that depakote and zyprexa, while controlling potential mania from recurring, are not helping me actually feel better.
I am just upset that I ever stopped Zoloft the first time around in 2007. I didn't feel great all the time on it but I was always able to sleep and take naps and when I worked out there was potential to feel great. After being off Zoloft for the first time in 7 or 8 years and the perfect storm of circumstances/stresses coming together(including abusing my already injured body working for my friends moving company during my summers off at the elementary school-for the first time in my life I was loosing my sense of physical well being and it was happening very quickly), I was sent into a brief major depression followed by a major mixed episode in which I could not sleep for more that 2 or 3 hours a night. Since then I have been on 12 different medications. My brain feels like a train wreck. When I was trying to be off medication over a year ago I began to experience weird things like nose tingling. I feel like I opened pandora's box a few years ago and there is no turning back.
I'm not sure if I will ever be the same. And I swear, the lack of proper chemical production in my brain is being felt in muscle function at times.
