I have been given the diag of Bipolar 2. I have been on meds for 3 months now. I am seeing my primary when needed but mostly once every 5 months. I am now on a once per month visit with my psychiatrist and once every 2 or 3 weeks with a counselor. I take 400 mg Seroquel and 40 mg celxa every morning and 5 mg zyprexa as needed(I take it more often than not). I notice my ups mostly as not sleeping very well or at all and being high strung. I feel like my brain is moving way to fast for my mouth or body to keep up. It's like thumbing through a dictionary at 100 mph. I have a hard time sitting still (not all the time but more often than not)because either my feet or legs are shaking or bouncing up and down. When I get an idea I tend to proceed with out any thought or never follow through with the project. My downs are the typical hopeless feelings and I go through in my mind why I should continue living. Before the meds I would go though the cycle every few weeks or so and even cycle within a day or two. I feel better but I still have a problem with the downs. I told my counselor how I feel and she told me to tell my pdoc that I have these thoughts and I have the means to follow through but I do not have a plan. The only reason that I do not have a plan is that I do not want to make a mess for anyone else to clean up.Has anyone else gone though something similar? How did you handle it?
