i was mis-dx'ed bipolar and did the med thing for 2 1/2 yrs and felt no better...felt worse. brother is true bipolar. it's all so confusing. i went to a dr for help, and got the wrong kind due to a generalization of my symptoms. when he put me on a strong AD that gave me hypo-manic like symptoms, he assumed bipolar...that began my 2 1/2 years of what i call "nothingness".

meds are a necessary and life saving thing. i was just one of those where they took my quality of life away due to mis'dx.

i so wish everyone on the med journey well. i'm watching my brother with this and it's a hard road, but so far beneficial

love to all,
