![]() I am currently on Pristiq. But usually never can take anti-depressants for very long. It seems to be working for the most part. And, I felt so good I stopped my bipolar meds. Now, I am thinking maybe,,, that was not such a good idea. ![]() I have a upcoming appt with my pcp provider. I am still no luck at getting a new therapist. I am alright from the episode and have decided to change a few things to not trigger another one, or one so serious. Thanks for listening, Tina |

I always get disappointed in myself after I have an episode. I don't put myself in danger all that much, I usually end up hurting the people that are the closest to me though. How do you figure out what triggers you? I'm not sure what I would say triggers me. That's pretty important to know though, right?

I totally understand I have episodes that were I black out and can't even remember what happened. And it's very scary but in the same sense I was no meds at the time at least for 3 months. I just started on Lamictal and I haven't gotten that way it's only been 4 days though but I'm doing better with it. I seem to do the same thing hurt the people who are closest to me and I don't understand why but I always feel bad afterwards and I apologize and my fiance usually understands I hate hurting him but he is there and a easy target. Good luck

That's the one thing I'm learning......to never go off my prescribed meds. I don't ever want to go back to the mania/depression that got me in so much trouble..... thank you for your post and the reminder that we need to be careful......all the best.....greylove

I try and list my triggers and after so many flubs. Something clicks. It could be meds, therapy. But everyone is different.

Well one thing that's important if you can get back to the doctor that prescribed the regimen you were on, I'd see if I can get the doc to give you new prescriptions. (let him/her know what happened. (or tell your pcp). This way they can get you back on the right track medication wise.
It's very hard I know to learn the triggers, but I see that not needing the meds anymore as a trigger or sign that something is going to go wrong if it's acted upon. As they say if it ain't broke don't fix it. I have to keep telling myself that. |

Thank you for the advice. I have an appt this coming week. And yes not needing the meds is a trigger for sure. It just sometimes gets past me.
