I've never had a bi-polar diagnosis, probably because I've never experienced a mania. I do have "good days" where I feel really good and get hopeful that I'm going to get "up" a bit, but then can't seem to stay up there. I've dropped the neurontin to 600 mgs 3X day and already noticed a difference. Not so zoned out. I've dropped the Zoloft to 150 mg per day and by next week will drop it to 100, then I'll see pdoc and discuss remeron. Maybe I won't need to switch if I maintain this mood. I do tend to count things, ie. if I'm drying cutlery I'll tend to count the knives, forks, etc. but I've never had a diagnosis of OCD either. I also practice what I call "retail therapy". Sometimes when I buy things, not big things nor do I go crazy shopping, I feel better. Most often it is "junk food" and a magazine to read and pig-out at lunch time!!. I think part of the reason I felt really awful too was I had tried to quit smoking. It is a real bone of contention with me and my man. I live in Canada and the price of cigs are astronomical, not to mention the physical price of smoking. I get so tired of feeling guilty for exposing another person to my moods, I think that's why I want to be alone, so I can smoke, eat junk food and generally be a sloth, without justifying the reasons for it to someone else!!! ARGGGG.
