I hate Big Pharma.
Get a second or third opinion.

It's interesting... Supposedly I was "mixed" when I first sought help because I was hallucinating, feeling down, having little need for sleep, racing thoughts, etc.. I had these feelings for 2 months.
My mood never changed this rapidly until I started meds, namely Lexapro. I mean, $hit... I used to feel down for MONTHS at a time and have a few months where I felt fine. Now my "down" mood lasts 2-3 weeks. Wtf? This "rapid cycling" started 1 month after I got my first psychological eval, which is precisely when I started taking lexapro.
Also got 3 opinions and they all said the same: BP. I just don't trust any them. I think they're all part of a big pharmacy scheme to make money off me. I mean, it's like I said: if you go seek help, you're going to get diagnosed with *something*. They're never going to let you go and say there's nothing wrong with you. No. They want your money. So the easiest thing for them to do is slap a BP label on me.
It's easy for them to do because of my reactions to lexapro and adderall
