Back in March I came off of Seroquel because of it causing pre-diabetes and my triglycerides were thru the roof. Then I went into a mixed episode. Since then I tried several medications. Haldol was a god send but it brought me down from mania and then I was stable for awhile and then brought me into a depression, which my pdoc said happens. Well anyways after several medications my pdoc tried me on Latuda, and it was a nightmare. I was so restless, panic attacks and my OCD was times ten with the record player of irrational thoughts all day long. I had suicidal thoughts because it was so overwhelming. It was so bad that I had to go on med leave for 2 1/2 months before I was stable.
Well anyways my pdoc put me on Propranolol, Xanax ER, and back on the Seroquel. I also am taking Lamictal, which I have been on for 7 years. It took about 2-3 weeks and I was finally back to being stable. The anxiety was down and I was thinking rationally again.
Anyways I went back to work this last week, which is the most stressful part of my life. Monday and Tuesday I was completely fine, Wednesday I went into a depression. Then Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (the worst day) I was hypomanic, it came out of nowhere. Today I just feel blah. What's tomorrow going to be? I'm so confused. I know that bipolar is cyclical.
I just don't understand how I just went on these medications so recently and then this starts up?
