The past couple weeks and the past few days especially I've noticed I've been feeling really weird. It's not a numbness, but more of a loss of interest that has nothing to do with depression or mania. I've noticed that I'm not hungry as much, my cigarette smoking has been out of habit rather than need and the past two days I've been debating on quitting, I don't have a wanting to shop (favorite past-time of mine), I don't feel sexual though I do still fantasize and masturbate, I don't feel like drinking at home or socially (usually I only drink to get drunk/wasted but lately I'll sip on a drink and not feel buzzed). Asides from that, I'm not depressed or manic, my mood overall has been stable, and I don't feel numb at all, I still feel emotions.

The newest drug I've been taking has been depakote which I started in February. Before that, my moods skyrocketed up and down while on lithium and zyprexa. I feel like it's working, but I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm "too" level.

Stress factors in my life has been my dad going through hip surgery and taking care of him, my current job and looking for a new job, and changing my career pathway to become a vet tech.

I'm seeing my psych on Monday. I don't know if I should ask to change dosage because overall I think I'm doing very well and I'm afraid if we change anything it'll screw me up. What should I do? Advice? Thoughts?
