Newish... At least to this

So I had my appt with my primary care physician today other than my blood pressure being high she also confirmed my therapists thought that I am showing classic manic symptoms. She started me on seroquel and cut my viibryd down to half dose. She also is making a referral to a psychiatrist. Which I have to make sure insurance will cover the ones she suggested. It's so confusing... I don't really know if I truly fit here but where else can I go??? I'm still very up just confused....

We are all confused I think at some point during diagnosis. Sounds like your doctor is doing the best for you. Seroquel should level your moods outs and with the help of a psychiatrist you can get a definite diagnosis. Hope she gets your blood pressure down, too.

just jump in, post, vent here whatever helps. Getting diagnosed, deciding treatment, and everything that goes with it is all confusing and has such mixed emotions of relief, hope, fear and grieving that makes getting your moods "under control" interesting. Know we've all been through this and we're here as you need us.

Hi welcome to bp corner. What manic symptoms are you having - if you want to talk about it's ok if you don't.
It's a loaded dx for me, blindsided me. But I fit the criteria too.

I'm not sleeping but maybe 4-6 hours a night for 2 months wake up fully energized. Not focusing, rapid stressed speech, laughing and smiling about nothing, very self indulgent, the thinking of I'm the best at everything (complete opposite of how I've always been), cant sit still, severe anger about the stupidest things... the list goes on....

i was about to say, hey... i know your username, and now i know why.

welcome to the BP section

It's a troublesome world I live in. I want to bash one's head in then within a few mins it's all candy canes and gingerbread. I want the answers and I want them now. What the h#ll is wrong with my brain? Is this all part of bipolar? Or am I just odd the freak of the bunch? I don't want to follow this thought pattern so I don't think I'm going to. Trying to stay busy. Going to have to get out of the house. Not enough to do inside. I need things to do. Mind is running. It's almost time for the nighttime pills which include seroquel for sleep so I may not have to fight the thoughts for long. But alas...

You are in the right place. You will get help here. I am probably not bipolar, according to pdoc, but I get so much help here.
