I was inaccurately diagnosed with depression and anxiety at first. Put in effexor er, kept throwing me into hyponanias but didn't realize it at first.
My mother was diagnosed and she said go get a proper diagnosis cuz I think u r the same.
Yup! Bp2 & gad.
Started on lamictal and it made a WORLD of difference! Only really mild mood swings when under lots of stress. Was on small dose of prozac (so lamictal could keep moods stable still, but prozac could help but not quite take away anxiety). That stopped helping the gad so now I'm starting celexa.
Anyway, its been a relief really, to have an accurate dx and figure out how to deal. So while it was daunting at first, its been great to improve my quality of life. I'm sure you'll find the same!
