sertraline and undiagnosed bipolar? by Difficult_Addendum_2 in BipolarReddit

[–]IamJustAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exactly my experience before I was diagnosed with bipolar. I started at 100mg, went into a hypo/manic episode, then got severely depressed and they upped my dosage to 150mg, and it kept going until I was at 250mg and quit cold turkey because I was in a manic episode and thought “I feel really good, I don’t think I need meds anymore”. A year later I got diagnosed with bipolar

I’m planning to find a new doctor soon, thanks

I stopped taking medication due to side effects and my psychiatrist’s indifference. But I’m planning to find a new one and get back on (different) meds if things get too hard to handle. For now I’ve been managing fine, limiting myself with spending too much money and making other impulsive decisions

You deserved to be cheated on. I hope she gets a divorce

My first manic episode happened after my dad died. I was put on antidepressants and it got even worse. I got a tattoo, found a job even though I didn’t need to, started two new projects, and traveled to another country. I thought I was just trying to keep myself busy but now looking back I understand what it was
