I need to draw everyday and let my emotions out there. I'm not bad I'm just real emotional bc of my illness. My doc put me on fluoxetine yesterday. I haven't started it I'm scared to take it with pristiq the pharmists said its not good together and I'm supposed to take them in the mornings. I'm gonna have to go see my docs again tomorrow to ask about it they were supposed to call me back today and they didn't. I'm so scared of side effects. I hope it doesn't make me feel weird. Maybe it will help with anger outbursts my doc said it helps with crying spells which I've had a lot of

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.

It might answer you implied question in your other post about anger outbursts - in fact maybe you wouldn't even need to be bipolar to have that reaction.
Are you on anything else?
If not the treatment you are getting could actually be alot worse than no treatment.
You definitely need to talk with your Pdoc about being on these 2 meds together, esp. if you're not on a Mood Stabilizer. Anger, out of control emotions, hypomanic symptoms, manic symptoms all that could be caused by not being on a balanced med cocktail if your BiPolar.
Hope your doctor was helpful in explaining his rational or looking into a medication regime that would put you more at ease.
