I have recently been diagnosed BP and now I am wondering what is next.
To share a bit of my story, I have been treated for anxiety and depression for the last 5 years. I am currently taking Effexor 75mg, Abilify 5mg and Seroquel 300mg (at night).
I feel a little lost now. Even though BP runs in the family, my father and sister have it, and I had a hunch I had it too (for many reasons too long to get into in a single post), I am still a little shocked. What started out as an anxiety disorder is now BP.
My big concern now is have the meds I have been taking been treating my BP effectively. I don't have the "can't get out of bed" depression or the "I feel like a king" hypomania since I have been on them but I have been through a few things, most recently having come back from a three month separation with my wife. I now have a one year lease that I signed and furniture that I bought that has put me more into debt.
I thought the meds were working but I am freaking out a bit that I may still experiencing issues even though I am being treated.
