So I'm new here. I'm diagnosed with bipolar and I take a lot of medications. I'm on low doses of everything, but I'm on lamictal, depakote, geodon, effexor, and revia. I feel that I'm on too much but actually I think I need my doses upped. My depression is coming back and I'm self harming again. I'm actually very mixed the last few days, and I cut on two different occasions. The episodes don't last more than a few days then they flip. Is that normal for bipolar that the moods only last a few days? Also, what do you guys consider hypomanic vs a good mood.
