I think the medication I'm on may be working...
At least more than previous meds have. I wouldn't say I feel happy exactly, but more motivated. I started a weight loss diet around the same time I started the meds and I'm sticking to it. I'm working on a family photo project scanning in thousands of photos and I'm keeping relatively happy with that. The main thing is I seem to not obsess over things quite as much and I return to a happier norm.
One thing I do notice is that my moods seem more volatile. I'm a little more edgy than before and while I don't get angry I do seem annoyed by things a little at times. However I also get over them MUCH faster than before. If things bothered me before they would fester more.
I'm not sure how much of this to attribute to the new meds, and how much to attribute to the life style changes like dieting and such. I'm wondering if the psychiatrist will want to play around with the dosages now that I MAY be seeing an effect?

P.S., Watch 1776, its on TCM now, and will SURELY put some smiles on your face!!!
It is very encouraging news!
I've had so many setbacks before I'm not going to count my chickens yet though 
The volatility worries me a bit because I feel like I could slip into a depression at any second all the time. And my downs aren't gone by any means either.
Judging by your story it seems like they're having a positive effect on you.
My philosophy when it comes to psych meds is to ride the wave and enjoy the good days.
