I saw my pdoc today. I go to a practice with several docs and I saw someone new today. I felt like she was just rushing me along, but it went ok. I asked her about my diagnosis and she said she also isn't sure I'm bipolar. She said the only thing she can diagnose me with is brief reactive psychosis. She said she doesn't see any indication that I have a mood disorder, but we need to give it more time to be sure. She noted that the lowest dose possible of Geodon is working and I may be able to come off of meds altogether in the future. For now, she's keeping my meds as-is and I go back in a month.
I don't like not knowing what caused my episode or if it will come back. I'm not huge into labels, but I feel a little lost. I hope its ok if I stick around here while I wait. I resonate with a lot of what is discussed and it may turn out I am bipolar. You guys are awesome.
