My doctors have told me I have "bipolar elements." I have no official DX.

Do you think meds can make you aware of how you are?

I also seem to have gotten worse, getting older.

It wasn't until last spring that I started questioning whether or not I might actually be bipolar. Up until then I was adamantly certain that I had MDD with psychotic features. But that DX doesn't explain a lot.

I just don't know if the meds made me worse, or if I got worse.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
