I felt like this when I was on olanzapine. I changed meds and feel much more like myself now, so perhaps that's something worth considering. Or, if it's safe to do so and you discuss it with your doctor first, perhaps you could try reducing the dose you're on?
Just some ideas. Not sure about your situation with regards to how much you need the meds to stay well but reducing them might let you know if it is the meds or not. Just don't do it without talking to your psychiatrist or GP first!

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
