Very good point. Depakote made me a zombie. Lithium too. Tegretol and trileptal just me feel worthless. By zombie I mean that I didn't feel like a human being. I did not have a strong sence of self. I just was. Like a robot, nothing to look forward to, nothing to fear. No reason to live, yet no reason to kill myself. Nothing to work for, yet no reason to give up. No pleasure, no pain. It was the "little things" that were just wiped out. There was simply "no point", to doing the things that I once enjoyed.
I agree that normal people can still be alive and happy yet stable. Mood stabalizers always put me two knotches below where I wanted to be.
