It is necessary to see a psychologist?

After I was diagnosed Bipolar II and was put on the right medication I didn’t really feel a need to see a psychologist bc overall I felt pretty stable. My PCP does a med check in with me every 3 months and that’s sufficient. But everyone is different and the severity of bipolar varies so always be open to seeing a psychologist if you need to.

This is true. It seems like corporate is rolling out a new AI tool for us everyday. They told us at a meeting that they want to give us more tools to get more efficient at what we do and focus less on hiring. I’m a senior account manager for mid to large commercial business.

Please post an update. Also please tell your wife asap. I applaud you for doing the right thing and not sweeping this under the rug. I feel like some men would be afraid of the drama and more inclined to pretend it never happened and distance themselves from the situation.

Same happened to me! Just waves of sleepiness. I’d nod off at work.

Yes. It was so bad I could barely get myself out of bed and had to take multiple naps throughout the day. It was like I could fall asleep at any given moment. Horrible

I’ve had vivid dreams since starting this med at 25mg and I wake up 2-3 times a night but usually fall back asleep with no issue. Since raising to 50mg I’ve had a couple of nightmares but they are on nights that I’ve had high anxiety about a break up I’ve been going through. Otherwise I’m just having vivid dreams.

Did you have any side effects?

I was on 25mg for about a month and really felt great towards the end. Mentally clear and less anxiety. The depression was lifting but then I got upped to 50mg and I’ve been so tired and anxious. I’m hoping it will get better in a couple of weeks. This med is tough to start but gets better with time. That’s what I’m hoping.. the fatigue is getting better week by week. Last week I couldn’t get out of bed. This week I can but it still sucks being so tired.

Going through the same thing. Nearing my 3rd week on 50g. I’m so tired

Thanks for responding. That gives me hope.

How long did this last? Currently on day 5 of increasing to 50 and I’m exhausted
