Same with me, and the lasting effect of previous drugs. Took forever to get my doc to try me on dopamine agonists, but after nothing else worked she did and now she's a believer. When I'm dosed Im good, but when not dosed I'm an inanimate zombie - no thought, volition, emotion or words. Blank stare. Its absolute murder just convincing myself to get into the shower in the morning like that. The difference is night and day - people who know me can tell immediately if im off my dose when they see me. Im on low dose abilify and requip, and parlodel, and function well on them. There are others: pergolide (seemed dirty to me, didnt feel good), mirapex (haven't tried it), etc. If you google dopamine agonist you'll get lots of information. Good luck
