Finally I am being discharged from hospital HAPPY!! For the last 7 months I have been deeply depressed to the point of suicide at times. Nothing helped but my pdoc took a chance and put me on a stimulant called Modafinil and I immediately switched from depressed, agitated, irritable, inpatient and unable to concentrate to happy and calm (not hypomanic at all either). It is a miracle drug for me but too expensive so my pdoc is switching me to Ritalin in a few weeks. It feels so amazing to be cheerful, calm and able to concentrate. My doctor never gave up on me. I am so lucky to have him.
