I have had a psychiatrist tell me I am bipolar and another one tell me I am not and that I just have dysthymia/severe depression with anxiety/panic disorder. I don't have the numerous cycles I hear about but I am just extremely irritable and mean.
I weaned myself off of all my psych meds the last few months. I don't know if that was a good idea or not. BUT, I am 38 and I was taking 8 to 10 different meds for different things. I had a lumbar spine fusion and them later diagosed with fibromyalgia, cervical disk degeneration at all levels, 2 disks bulging, etc. This is not to mention my horrible sinus issues and being s/p 2 surgeries.
I do know that I cannot take an antidepressant alone as it does cause the cycles to come more rapid being bipolar. If I take antidepressants, I have to have a mood stabilizer on board too!!
I am sick of pouring all these meds in my body all the time. |
Possibly bipolar - anon
