[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 379719, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. The very first thing I think you should do in my opinion is to go to a brand new Psychiatrist and tell him you feel like a zombie on the medications you've been on and can he try something else. I have a mood disorder myself and, no matter how hard I try, I can not control my emotions or temper without some medication. I've had the "zombie" problem like you, but I did find a medication mix that doesn't dope me up at all (it took a long time to find it, but I didn't give up). Until you are being treated and stable, it WILL be hard for you to control your moods because BiPolar (BP) is a physical problem. I don't take mood stabilizers. I simply do not like the flat way they make me feel...ugh. So I know where you coming from. I happened to find that a combo of Paroxatene and Clonazapan (as needed) are enough to make me sane and almost normal ;) I've been on them for over fifteen years now and they are my friends. Sometimes you have to just keep on trying until something works. I like cognitive behavioral therapy too, but it just wasn't enough when I wasn't on medications. After medications, it kicked in and helps me still, all these years later. Welcome to the board. Sorry you have to be here. [/QUOTE]
