So I saw a GP this morning (not my usual one because she is still on maternity leave) and it was a huge waste of time. She basically told me to just take my medication every second day for a week (I am on the lowest dose and the pill can't be split) and then stop. I'm just like really?? I was taking this medication a few years ago and was seeing a Pdoc then who told me to taper off I should take it every second day for two weeks then every third day for two weeks and then stop. I think I'm going to just do the same thing this time.
The GP prescribed me Prozac and said I could take it if I felt my symptoms were getting worse after I stop my current medication. I don't trust this doctor's opinion so I'm not going to do that. I am just so over this whole thing. I have wasted so much time and money over the years and it has got me nowhere.
Also, I don't think I have Bipolar. My moodiness is more of a fluctuation between depression, anxiety, anger and emptiness. Theres no "euphoric" kind of moods that would be associated with Bipolar. Also my moods change too quickly for it to be Bipolar. A lot of the other symptoms of BPD seem to fit me so that's why I'm leaning more towards that.
