Doubts??.....................

Did anyone doubt their dx once they were being treated? Part of me wants to quit the seroquel even though I've been on it for such a short time. I can't help but wonder if the lexapro was making me so unbalanced and nothing else. I know this sounds like denial and I've already considered that.

Hi Danielle....


Most of us have felt the way you do at one time or another in our treatment.

Doubts, oh yeah. But I just try to remember what it was like off the meds....

I'm past the point where the side effects bother me anymore, and we still don't have the cocktail right, but I don't want to go into that deep dark hole again. The highs are kinda fun, except for the rages and spending too much money.

Just hold on, and talk this over with your tdoc or pdoc, if you have one, they can give you more reasons and help remind you of what you are gaining.

Hugs,
Rowan

Danielle,

I fought my dx for a long time (years without meds) and then decided I was so absolutely miserable I went for meds, then decided I didn't need the meds, then had panic attacks and got myself back on the meds... Pretty typical I think... and I KNEW better because my dad was BP... but we all have to travel our own road and learn our own lessons.

I can't tell you what to do, but before you quit meds you should really talk it over with your Pdoc (or even get a second opinion).

We all want to be 'normal' but BP is like diabetes... you can't just wish it away or cure it with willpower .

Thank you everyone for your support, I think I'm just in a low today and that is something that is not being treated by my meds so I guess I'll need to talk w/ my p/tdoc at our next appt about that but that seems like forever from now, lol, It's March 22nd. She leaves on vacation tomorrow so not much I can do about that right now. I think maybe I'm just missing being manic, the high, the getting things done, of course I know there is always a crash to follow but that is the furthest thing from my mind. Like I said before i think I'm in a low and there is nothing I can do but wait it out.


Thank you all for being here & for understanding.

Hugs & Prayers

Danielle,


I quit taking my medicine once, back when I thought I just had regular depression.
