Got a new pdoc, he seemed cool. He seemes to listen better than the old one and was less judgy. We decided to stop the venlafaxine. Best idea ever! After some dumb issues that led to a sudden stop and a horrid withdrawal period, I could feel things again! Then the mood swings returned. I went back to pdoc. Poured my heart out. He asked the questions that the old pdoc never asked. He said no wonder your meds never worked - they are for the wrong illness. He agrees that bipolar is probs the culprit, and that there are signs that it runs in my family (gma was never upfront about her issues). I'm feeling super validated and relieved. But now scared and confused. What now?
