This forum is so huge, so I thought I'd say hello here in the Bipolar section.
I'm in my mid-twenties, diagnosed last year with Bipolar 2. I have psychotic features as well but haven't told the doctor about them yet... I'm intending to, tomorrow. Bipolar has been a part of my life for about eight years now and depression for a lot longer. I'm not in a very good place right now, a lot of stress with possibly moving house, possibly leaving my church, my supervisor at work retiring soon, and it's bringing out some psychosis I haven't dealt with before, and that does scare me. The thought of taking antipsychotics scares me too though.  Right now I'm taking divalproex (Epival) 500mg and Wellbutrin 150 mg. I live in rural Canada and have a part-time job in town, and my life isn't really all that interesting.

Well, thanks for all the welcomes!
I saw my pdoc today and he started me on a low dose of risperidone, but wants to see me for an hour-long appointment in a couple of days. I'm starting to wonder if he's thinking of changing my diagnosis. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
