I don't feel good, I just feel normal. I went off Seroquel (150 mg) slowly about 5 weeks ago. I want to say I feel good because I do- but really I just feel normal. Only thing Ive noticed is that I smile and tear up more easily but I think that's the normal me rather than the blunted me. I know we all want to be "the real me" but what does that mean? Is my normal real me the person I was before I was diagnosed or before I was put on psych meds? It is NOT the manic me or the depressed me- that is the ABNORMAL me! I'm talking about who I am at my core. Who is Moose? My body is screaming for me to get back to baseline as well- I have high blood pressure, prediabetes, high cholesterol, I'm overweight (formerly obese!) My liver is fat and I have cirrhosis of the liver which is irresversable- all from zyprexa and seroquel. And this isn't even my entire list of medical "complaints"! Who is the normal Moose? I have bipolar disorder but it won't have me! Finally it's time to be proactive not REACTIVE!

I think often people are over or under medicated and they do forget the " real " them...lots of Pdocs think a patient is better a bit on the low side as opposed to a good balance..
I also have trouble with people that blame every emotion they feel on " Bipolar" We can all have a full range of emotions and it have nothing to do with Bipolar! I'm glad you are making changes in your life to help your physical health while enjoying bipolar mood stability

Hi Moose. It sounds like you are starting to recoup from what was totally understanding deep stress. Keep taking good care of yourself. The real you is there, and has always been there even if seemingly hidden. I am sure you will find her as you feel better and better.
