I asked her today if she thought I am bipolar because I have been working with her for a month now. She said she's not sure if I'm bipolar she said I meet more of the criteria for cyclothimia due to rapid mood shifts. She said they don't seem severe enough. Then she added why does it matter. I said it matters because I am on 300 mg of lamictal and 40 mg of Latuda. She talked to me about uping my latuda to 60 and I was like b!tch we are headed the wrong way if you think I am misdiagnosed. If I am not bipolar I don't want the Meds that go with it.

If it is true and I am only cyclothimic do I still need medicine or do I hsve hopes of getting off of it someday and being okay.
