I am wondering myself if I am truly bipolar. Shrink is going on the fact that I had a severe reaction to Prozac when I was upped to 60 mg a day. Had horrible anxiety, insomnia, my whole body was shaking, heart was racing, jittery like I drank a gazillion cups of coffee. I had been on Prozac since 1987 without any problems for OCD, but never on such a high dose. And I had just been taken off Klonopin when this reaction occurred.
My shrink says that this reaction was evidence if treatment-emergent hypomania and now wants to put me on depakote. I truly don't think I am bipolar, and I am afraid of these bipolar Meds if I don't need them. I am just venting here. Sorry for the rant!
