I don't know if I'm experiencing depression or symptoms of ADD.
I am taking a small dose of Prozac, 1mg of Klonopin and 50mg of Seroquel in the evening. My doc gave me samples of Nuvigil to try. She said I could either take the Nuvigil or a small dose of Adderall XR (I'm not sure which is better for motivation and ADD symptoms).
I am getting great sleep from Seroquel and haven't been manic in the month that I've been on it.
But the problem is that I feel blah. No motivation or interest in anything, no sex drive. I could just sit all day and do nothing. Does this mean I am depressed and need more Prozac or that I having problems with my ADD?
I don't necessarily feel depressed, I just generally feel nothing. I tend to think maybe the lack of motivation could be ADD symptoms.

It means that the drugs are working?

Actually, my doc did say that it means the meds are working and this is what "normal" feels like. I'm used to being on a roller coaster and feeling highs and lows all in the same day. So, if I just feel flat sometimes without the highs, I guess it is normal.
Kinda hard to get used to. I think anyone who is BP likes the highs sometimes and maybe even misses them. But, the moodiness that accompanies the highs are just not worth it.
