Soo here goes nothing!
My entire adult life has been a merry go round of anti depressants
(I'm 30 y/o)
In 2006 I was DX as Bipolar but I was in denial so I never addressed it and I then decided that I was just depressed and that it would all get better by taking anti depressants :-) Yeah yeah I know, it doesn't!
To speed you up to 2011, I have 2 awesome kids- one boy, one girl, a wonderful husband, a beautiful home and I'm living the "American Dream" (or atleast that's what it looks like from the outside looking in )

Over the last 3 months I have been telling my husband that I just don't feel right emotionally. "Maybe I just need my Prozac adjusted" "But something feels off" Well this went on and on for about the next 2-3 months until about 2-3 or so weeks ago.

My husband and the kids were out of town on vacation and all of a sudden I became completely and utterly incapable of caring for even myself. I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks, I did not sleep, not even one wink for over 3-4 days and when I did sleep prior to that it was for no more than 45 min-2 hr intervals. I finally broke down and checked myself into an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I was placed inpatient for 6 days. Now that I am out and on meds I feel a little better (just a little).
I can atleast eat, I can get out of bed but I still want to curl into my ball and cry. But even that sadness/happiness comes and goes. I'm so confused. I've never ever ever ever felt like this before. I feel like a terrible mother and wife. I've already missed a week of work and have to go back tomorrow and put on the "happy show". I can't afford to miss more work especially since I'm the only one with a job right now! My mind is just going up and down and I feel like total crap inside and out. I feel so detached and void of emotion unless of course that emotion is crying. I'm just tired and exhausted, I'm confused and frustrated and I want all this ***** to go away!!!! I WANT to feel again, I WANT to care again, I WANT to hug my kids and have that same feeling inside that I use to have damnit!!!!!!!!!!

Here are all of my "official' diagnosis "Bipolar 2, Severe General and Social Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Depression" I'm sure I left a few out but whatever lol
BTW: This is my meds
The meds before entering were:

Adderrall twice a day
Klonopin 0.5 three x's a day

Upon Admission I was changed to:
AM Meds:
Wellbutrin SR 150mg
Klonopin 2mg
Topomax 25mg

Noon meds:
Wellbutrin SR 150mg
Klonopin 2mg

Night meds:
Seroquel 100mg
Restoril 30mg

I should add that since the Doctor took away my adderrall cold turkey I feel like I frickin zombie
