I'm sorry that your therapist didn't listen to you, but I am glad that you're back on some meds that are helping. Sadly, there are all kinds of docs who gradually lose interest in their patients and/or stop caring. Yes, we have to be assertive, but really, it's their job to ask us what's really the matter and not accept the "I'm fine" answer. We're not socializing or doing small talk for their up to $300/hr rate.

Hypomanic is nice. Hoping my meds keep me stable long enough to get some things accomplished this summer (like reading books and starting to write again).

I also didn't tolerate lexapro. In fact, I don't tolerate anything that concentrates serotonin in the brain, even if it has other stuff. Dopamine and norepinephrine seem to do fine, but I get a little aggressive/impulsive for the first couple of weeks.

I'm glad you're okay and that you didn't follow through. We all need each other. Don't want to lose anyone on this site. Stay well and always post if you need a listening ear.
