I had gotten pretty far into taking the meds and hoping side effects would just go away. Now they took me off of everything. And my mood swings and obsessive thoughts are coming back ten fold. It's inky been a few days since being diagnosed and quitting meds. (Quitting cold turkey was advised by my doc)
Has anyone else gone through something like this??
I was misdiagnosed like you were. It was a bad experience, as you know. Getting myself a good pdoc, getting stabilized with proper bipolar meds (took many tries), therapy and sheer will is needed, IME. Keep coming here. We understand and will support you. I hope you feel better soon. I understand what you are experiencing, it's awful. It WILL get better. xo
