My diagnosis is BP2, predominantly depression. I have posted about my various trials over the past year including ECT ,which didn't work. Also, throw in there unemployment, wasting my (quite high) potential, and probably some existential angst/kierkegaardian despair and thats my symptom cluster :)
Wanted to add that I went off Saphris a few nights ago. The zyprexa kicked in overnight (i take it at night)...the next day the deep emptyness was gone. Still depressed, apathetic, unmotivated, but the deep emptyness is gone, as is some of the negative ruminations.
Next up is planning to reduce my dose of lithium to 300mg from 600mg as I believe SOMETHING is causing some brain fog and apathy...emotional numbness. but maybe thats a good thing.
