Alara

I know what you mean. My "life" works better on meds (high-stress job et al) but my "self" is not so precise. The lows are not so low but the highs are flatter, too. I have to work harder to achieve the creative genius that my employer pays me for, but after doing the creating, at least I still have energy to do something besides go home and collapse into bed. On medication, even though it seems like I have to work harder to find that "creatively high zone", it doesn't take as much out of me, if that makes any sense.

Like so many things in life, it's a trade off. Off medication, I am a gifted employee who doesn't have enough energy to do anything else. On medication, I am probably 5% less productive as an employee, but I have a life. When I look at it like that, the choice becomes not a choice, but a necessity.

You're not alone. Hope you feel better about it soon.
