It doesn't matter to you what dose I was on. You'd still find some way to explain it away.And there you go again, taking into account some things I write and ignoring others. I wrote "near" absence of affect. One of my psychiatrists used the words "essentially an absence of affect" to describe it.
I can close my eyes while I'm driving and keep them closed and feel as comfortable as I am sitting on my living room couch. With music, I feel a very tiny fraction of it that I used to. Much of the way it sounds, I am oblivious to. There is a high-speed sweeping curve on the interstate close to my town that, before having meds mess me up, I felt a strong g-force when going around it at 80mph. I no longer feel that. I also no longer get an effect from many meds ive tried. Such as AdderlalI . And i tried Yohimbine a few weeks ago, i had tried it before in the past and it made me feel extreme,y anxious and made my heart beat fast. This time, zero effect from it. could go on and on. But the emotions I do express and feel are on a much, much smaller scale than they used to be. But as I continue regressing back to my pre-cyproheptadine state, it will develop into a complete absence of affect.And I have tried a couple of different mood stabilizers, lamictal and a couple of different Atypical Antipsychotics. I got zero effect from them. And yes, I took them in therapeutic doses.
But see, this is why I keep replying. I want to feel more suicidal. I want to have the motivation to follow through with it. Me hearing more and more misunderstanding from people, helps increase my suicidal thoughts. Some time ago I figured I would have followed through with it by now. But, I'm still here!
Write some more back to me, Eric.
