Welcome to PC. Like others have said BP sucks at times. When your getting meds sorted out is one of those times. It can take a month or more once you reach your intended dose to know if it works for you. There are lots of meds out there to try if this one doesn't work. Hope things improve for you really soon. Relaxation and meditation can help the racing thoughts and writing in a journal can be really helpful. All the best for your bipolar journey.
