Before starting on medication my mood would cycle between, say, -10 and 20 when a normal person would cycle between 0 and 10 with 5 being average. Now that I'm on medication I'm stuck at 3. Moderately depressed all the time. Has this happened to anyone else on here? I think I might be happier on average if I wasn't on medication.

Maybe. Maybe not. Are you seeing a therapist? Talk therapy might help.
