Been on epilim for my bipolar for a week now. So far all it seems to be doing is putting me into my episodes for longer than usual (I'm rapid-cycling).

Have been very, very depressed since Wednesday (it's Saturday night here). I feel so alone and empty, my will to live has left me and all I want is to not be here. The disturbing thoughts just won't seem to go away

Well, enough of my problems.... *hugs* to everyone here who needs them

Are you able to contact your Pdoc about this? It might be that it'll take a while to have it's full effect, but they would probably want to know that it simply seems to be making your episodes last longer right now, as that might not be safe.

It's especially difficult to feel like this on the weekend. I'm still working on my meds situation, and it's awful. Hold on, though, and contact your doc instead of suffering.

Thank you both.

I'll be contacting my psychologist tomorrow to try and get and earlier appointment. Also want to change GP's because I don't feel comfortable with my current one. I'm still trying to get the hang of having a professional I can reach out to when I'm feeling really bad. It's also somewhat frightening when a name is put to ways I'm feeling - about a week or so ago felt quite.... 'weird', and when I told her about it she said it sounded like I was close to psychosis. Scared me a little.
