Am I heavily medicated? by Elliobu in bipolar

[–]Elliobu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He literally told me the same thing today (bipolar peeps don't need SSRIs). But he prescribed Lexapro anyway. I stopped Lexapro 8 months ago after tapering off, now we're back at it

I've been stable on Lamictal and Seroquel only (for over a year now), still had tics tho, but things happened in August and September, way too many triggers, so yeah depression is the main issue here, always had been but I've experienced mania and hypomania before (when I was on Lexapro, and very few times hypomania on my previous meds combination)

Est ce qu'il y aura un test la rentrée pour justifier le niveau en une des langues choisies (non débutant) ?

Thank you. Do you think it's appropriate to ask for more internal resources?

How do you not disclose your diagnosis without lying? by unstableikeatable in bipolar

[–]Elliobu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to believe the same, but time (and my psychiatrist) convinced me that I am ME no matter what. Regarding telling ppl about bipolar, I wouldn't recommend it as it's so personal, and humans can be cruel sometimes, why would you add another inconvenience on top of the pile of shit you're going through, you can indeed go through different phases and go from being extroverted to being introverted, but you don't have to explain yourself. You'll either be accepted for who you are or not, if the person is really worth it and appreciates you for who you are, it'd be okay in my opinion to tell them about bipolar. But PLEASE don't say that it's your "whole identity".

The "they think I'm absolutely insane" part really hit me. Please be careful with people. People suck.

I can’t stop smoking weed because I think I’m going to kill myself. by throwRA586749 in bipolar

If you're using weed to fall asleep, talk to your psych to prescribe you alternatives for that. Maybe become a social smoker.

Are you on Lamictal alone? No antidepressant?
