Ive been taking Lithium B, for about 2 years now and after this long of taking it the initial "wow i feel alright, but im not going manic" has definatly worn off

Problem is its that feeling has been replaced by the feeling im so doped up i dont feel like a real person anymore. I'm never really happy or excited the pills are, and i can keep feeling the depression underneath all the pills that feels awful. Somedays i just want to get rid of them and never take another.

Worst thing is i keep thinking i need to do anything i can to feel real which is leading to behavior like when im manic, i've driven a friends car when i was asked not to, and took something from a shop the other day when i didnt want or need it

Help please
