I was diagnosed with Bipolar a month or two ago. They aren't sure, but think it's possibly Bipolar 2. I just went to see a pyschiatrist for medication last week and she was awful, but anyway; she put me on 900mg of lithium a day...and THAT'S IT.

She was condescending and basically acted like I was insane. She was referred to me by my psychologist so... I'm putting up with her.
(My aunt and sister saw her in the past and hated her, so I know not to take it personally)

I haven't slept in four days. I'm serious, not at all. And I have panic attacks multiple times a week that are incapacitating. (Like, go to the ER because I think I'm dying incapacitating) I told her about all of this, and she didn't give me sleeping/anxiety pills.

I also hallucinate (see things/hear things) almost everyday and she didn't give me anything for that and kind of shrugged it off.

I see her again this week. Did your doctor start you out on one medication and then introduce you to knew ones each appointment? Or did they start you out on like multiple ones immediately? I'm just worried, because I don't feel like the lithium is helping with my sleep, anxiety or hallucinations at all.

I just feel like my mind is slightly slowed down, but that's it. Helpppp?
