Hi rainbow, Im in my fifties and have only today been diagnosed bipolar I... life has been a very hard and mountainous journey. I am relieved and terrified at the same time. I am very much hoping that this diagnosis on a first visit with any Pdoc will be the start of a stable life for me. I have only ever taken welbutrine (s) and a new one last month that has been so wonderful (possibly too wonderful?) and have only had a good redaction. Tho with my visit today they will be changing them. Im scared, worried, and have no idea what to expect socially, business wise etc. All I know, is it will and must get better. It's a start, a new start. I hope so much good things for you and they find exactly what works without side effects.
