Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "My husband suffers with bipolor disorder. " (Brynniesmom)

MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times." (nvrsubtle)

Really don't understand the question. All I have is rage and confusion at the moment and I go with it. lol Seems I don't really have a choice. BTW I've been on that Z stuff before. The first 20 minutes were the worst, but after that I was flying high again.

Maybe its the stimulant. It took me awhile to find the right one. Those can make you feel really strange.
My experience is no substitute for sound medical advice.

I would get on another medication. Talk to your psychiatrist and express your feelings about not being able to feel anything. You could be on the wrong medication. I hope you can get your feelings back and feel better.

I felt that way on zyprexa. I started taking abilify and it got better. I was taking lamictal 400mgs but dropped that to 200 and that helped too. Good luck!

I have felt this way in the past and looking back I realize that I was over medicated. It might be a good time to make a med adjustment. I know it was a great relief when I was able to feel again. I hope you start feeling again soon.
