Is anyone else dealing with a dual dx of a mood disorder and ptsd? I’ve tried making friends in the bp forum but I smell too much like ptsd for them apparently, especially when I start talking about reducing my medication under my doctor’s supervision.

I just saw your post here. I have a dual diagnosis of bipolar and ptsd. I've always had a lot of support in the bp forum. I can't imagine that someone would give you grief for a med change, especially under a doc's supervision. We all are finding our own way, the best we can. I know my med management journey has been quite something to behold, with lots of fits and starts.
How is your med reduction going? I applaud anyone who can reduce their meds successfully. I've never been able to do it, but would like to. I'd love to hear how it is going.

It’s a med cessation not change and it’s going fine I’m just waiting to hear back from my p doc so I can take it down another fifty although initially he said I could go down to two hundred anyway so I don’t think he would care I’ll let you know |

What symptoms got you all diagnosed with Bipolar that was not related to symptoms of c-PTSD?

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