Im not on any meds. The last two times I went hypo my shrink prescribed me olanzopine which pretty much pulled the plug out of my brain. Which made me decide to stay unmedicated from then.
I just came down from a 6-8 month hypo from July-January. March was when i began to realise the party is over but didn't wanna accept it. By april it had sunk in that every waking second isn't going to be blissful nemore.
Im not really sure wether I am depressed at the moment or just missing my hypo phase. There are definite changes like going from sleeping 4-6 hours to 7-9 hours. A general lack of excitement and enthusiasm. And basic laziness and demotivation.
But I'm just really confused as to is this my baseline or am i depressed. What is normal after having been hypo ? Wouldn't your normal also feel dull and boring after experiencing hypo ?
Also id love to know how periodic your cycles are ? Can i expect to go hypo again in another 6-8 months ? I have had three hypo episodes till now so is a fourth one a certainty unmedicated ?
Thanks all.
