Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
last weekend i had a major meltdown,crying and crying,the owner of the facility was able to get my emotions in check by calling my pdoc,who increased my Lamictal from 200 mg at night to 300 mg.At first I felt wonderful and thought the problem had been solved by the med tweak.But now things have gotten much worse.I'm ashamed to admit that for some reason I'm very paranoid and have somehow managed to alienate everyone here.
I have the next 3 days to get it together enough to talk with my pdoc and let her know the med change didn't work. The next day,Wednesday,I see my tdoc. He's really the only person I can talk to,but that's once a week by appointment.
Last Monday I went far enough as to call one of the trustees of my trust and tell her I wanted to relocate. Also told my caseworker. After the med change,I called the whole thing off because I was feeling really good. Now I'm worse and everyone in this place hates me for some reason.
I better quit rambling. I have to make up my mind about moving soon,before I drive everyone as crazy as I feel.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
while lamotrigine is a mood stabilizer it seems better around depression but can lift someone into hypomania/ mania. It can do that really quickly so that's possibly what's going on
as Redgal says can you talk to your doctor asap and try not to make any major decisions right now
I'm sorry you're struggling right now... I hope you start to feel better soon...xo
Anyway thanks for listening to me last night,I definitely was not in touch with reality.
I see my pdoc early Tuesday morning. Unless something horrible happens and I become in danger of hurting myself (I would NEVER hurt anyone else),I intend to keep that appointment. I'll be OK I think. Thank you again.If I have another meltdown,you'll be the first to hear about it.
