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


Lexapro and Adderall to me is like tossing gas onto a uncontrollable wild fire. Why toss activating meds on you ?

I really hope you find relief soon, I know you have to be exhausted.
