Hi, I have posted before about my new diagnosis of bipolar.
I saw a psychiatrist last month and I have an appt on April 9th.
Prior to that, I had been in the ER for suicidal thoughts, and they prescribed me anti depressants.
I stopped taking the anti depressants two weeks ago, because all the racing thoughts were coming back , snippets of songs, obsessions, unable to focus or do anything and I was starting to get the hypersexual urges again, and feeling like I was losing control over my impulses ( all of which has been explained to me as mania)
The psychiatrist I saw prescribed me 12.5 mg of seroquel to sleep, and then upped to 25 mg. I do know that is a very small dose, and it really didn't have much effect after a week.
Was I wrong to stop taking my anti depressants while I wait to see a doctor again? Everything I have read has said that anti depressants can cause mania in bipolar.
I have a doctors appt today with my family doctor, but I'm still all over the place and I don't always get my thoughts across. What do I say to her?
