OK...better late than never. At the not so young age of 44 I have been stamped with a "Rapid cycling Bipolar" tattoo across my forehead. The guy who said "life is like a box of chocolates" couldn't have know how right he was. I have learned that my whole life has been not in my control. It feels a lot like a hockey puck. I get smacked in one directrion then another. After 3 months of break in on meds I am taking 40 mg citalopram and 300 mg Seroquel daily. My lows are not so low anymore but I still get all worked up and tense with my highs. I still have tons of energy and when I feel like I am getting out of control I find myself walking on the seams of the wood or carpet flooring at work. I walk right by customers but I can't help it still, it's the only way(even with the meds)that I can keep from out right acting (evidently) like an *** hat and causing a scene. Has anyone felt this way? How do you feel about your Pdoc? Have you requested different meds/additional meds and how was your request received? I know it's early in my treatment but I am looking for a plan b/c/d...etc.
