Yes, I was misdx'ed with bipolar, medicated for two and a half years with such high doses of meds that I was a zombie. MD's would show shock and concern at the dosages. I was so chemically restrained that I didn't know I was not doing well. Family finally said, "Something's wrong!"

I took myself off of all the meds. I'd already begun seeing a therapist who said that bipolar wasn't what he felt my dx was, but I didn't know or trust him well at the time, so I continued.

I found out that I was given the dx of bipolar due to "quick changes in mood".
