For a long time, I was flat, and my pdoc was very happy with that. I wasn't but would could I do? Go off meds, get depressed again or manic? But adding the SAD lamp was like the magic ingredient for me: I'm happy, stable, but not too happy. On the other hand, the issue with your appetite you do need to address with your doc b/c of your history with an ED; it's just not good to skip or forget meals. Or you have to absolutely force yourself to eat. I don't know, maybe I'm making too much of it; I'm usually pretty hungry, but I do exercise quite a bit, and I'm sure that plays into it.
