congratulations on 10 years sober!
I have been bi-polar for years. I have anti depressants, but I still have no "go". I was a fully functioning addict. I would go places, do things, have fun. Since I quit doing meth, I am the complete opposite. I hate what I have become. I just want to feel like a regular person. Found something about dopamine. I may be "dopamine deficient" went today and bought some L-Tyrosine. We will see how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am bipolar 1, maybe this has been the depression side of our disorder. maybe it is time to switch meds, different mood stabilizer. I take lamictal.
geodon and klonipin to sleep.
