That sounds very close to my wife's symptoms. After years of being treated for depression, her doctors suspected bipolar and changed her medication. The problem was, that the doctors would never see her when she was up, only when she was down. The various depression medications turned her into a walking functional zombie. No depression, but no desire to do anything but cope, either. She would take her medication when she was down and not when she was up. Going at it from a bipolar perspective switched her medications yet again and got her to a point where things leveled out. No highs, no lows. She's been on the same medications for a couple of years and things are doing well, now.

I'd really have another talk with your psychiatrist and perhaps get a second opinion. From what I can tell, this isn't a very exact science, it's more trial and error.
