When I was on AD only, I was manic for a few years. It caused my highs to go manic but it did also make my depression way worst and harder. I was bouncing like a ball at times.
Also, we are hard to DX because we seldom report the highs but just the lows, which happened to me which made things so much worse. Good luck!  |
Thank you.
Lithium was a fear of mine. I've heard it takes a while to get the correct dosageand the side effects are pretty cruel. I'm worried that they're going to kill my sex drive to stop my promiscuity, will they prescribe something also for this. I have been prescribed medication before to quell my urges but I didn't take them as I was having too much fun. Oh dear.
I think the antidepressants on their own have just caused me problems. They just seem to love to dish them out like they're a one size fits all solution. It makes me very angry. I think it's just made things worse for me and I probably didn't do myself any favours by coming off a high dose cold turkey.
It's all surreal at the moment. Feels like a weight has been lifted. I still feel very up though, I'm surprised this hasn't started the dark thoughts.
It's good to talk!
