She won't let me go back on antidepressant because she does not want me to go up in hypomania again and said that the meds will kick in to help me with feeling not quite functional stable for a full day and feeling depressed at the end of the day. so now I must take rivotril to calm down my anxiety..When and how long will this cycle stop so I can get back to my life.
I know what you mean. My pdoc got me on divalproex, cymbalta and seroquel. I have to be careful I don't go manic, but so far it hasn't been a problem. The seroquel helps me sleep. The only time I cycle anymore is when I am getting sick and then it's a matter of getting cranky. That's much better than when I used to cycle every hour or two.
