> I feel really flat, thats the best way to describe my state of mind, not exactly depressed, I know what that feels like, and its not good. Neither am I feeling the horrible debilitating anxiety I had become accustomed to this last year or so. This is more as if I have no emotion, just flat. Like I am a zombie. Instead of the forlorn self pity and sense of loss and hopelessness that I associate with depression, or a sense of dread fear, I feel instead nothing, like im sort of dead inside, devoid of joy even in a fleeting sense, no minor buzz from a cigarette or flirting with somebody online like I would expect. No sense of woe or angst which I have somehow gotten used to this last year. Instead all I want to do is lie down and doze. Its the strangest feeling, I am not depressed as I know that to be, its more like i dont feel anything. Is this what its like to be on an AAP?
I felt very much the same when I took Zyprexa several years back for my then-depressive illness (bipolar disorder was the diagnosis at the time). I was on the medication for about a month and took doses ranging from 2.5-15 mg/day. The sedative, zombie-like feelings did not go away for me until I stopped the medication.
