I ended up in hospital with MDD, Psychosis and cognitive deficits from drugs.
When I was discharged my pdoc who I had just started seeing jumped to the diagnosis of schizophrenia, I was on the maximum dose of zoloft and 3mg of risperidone which I came off in a year.

After being off the meds I became a bit manic and my psychiatrist then became confused and since then has left me the choice of choosing a label, either schizophrenia or bipolar.

That was a little over a year ago, I have untangled my false memory I developed when psychotic and no long suffer from it.

I am currently weening off risperidone again, I am certainly not psychotic.
I am going to be keeping a mood and thought diary and get a second opinion and also have my thyroid checked but I am wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms:

My mood will drop very low for a few hours then go back to near normal, I can usually snap myself out of this with coffee but have decided to quit and aim for recovery. It is not typical depression where I feel emotional, its more of a flat feeling like MDD.

When I am under stress I can become high functioning for a while whether it be 2 days or 2 weeks although I believe this is my normal temperament.

I was put on Risperidone over seroquel for agitation which I have always had.

No-one in my family believe I have BP or Schizophrenia, we know someone with BP1 and he doesnt agree either.

I definitely have some mood disorder due to drugs and I just want to know if symptoms of Bipolar can be so varying from person to person?

I sometimes wonder if its the anti-psychotics upsetting my mood and thats why I have these mood swings.
