Moremi: I know they can suck, but I really rely on medication - it's the one of the best things, I think. I would be so nervous to go off it. Are you sure, there's no stabilizers, that you can tolerate? I mean, I don't dare go off meds now, everytime I know I will swing right back into the arms of depression or mania.

BuggsBunny: he sounds so manipulating! Mine also did not even consider giving me sleeping pills when I actually only slept 3-4 hours for to whole months! I was so psychotic.

SO TO ALL: I'm new here, that you for replying and "sharing the misery". I guess we really need better psy.docs out there. Mine even refused to take responsibility for his actions - it's one thing to make a mistake, I think, another one to deny you did. He also tried to overdose me with VEnlafaxine, wanted me to go from 75 mg. to ****ing 225 in like, 5 days. That's supposed to be carefully done withing 1,5 month!!

The thing with the medications are that I am always very very low or high and low within hours. I have no middle ground and with all the side effects to boot, I just cant handle it anymore. If I do start going manic I have some pills to take to bring myself down. Seroquel is good for that, I just cant stay on it long term. I actually miss my highs so badly. I will get them for an hour and then get mixed states for a couple days then back to depression. Its awful. Hope you are feeling better today. I just saw you are from Australia, what a beautiful place. I hope to visit there one day.
