I am sorry if it seems like all I ask is for support from these sites and not give back, but these have been some tough months. And now after years of thinking I had depression, I am told that I am bipolar. And probably the times when I felt normal and could get things done were my mania periods. So this is Bipolar II, I think. I am so confused. My meds are Prozac 80mg ( I have been on this forever), Neurontin 800mg tid (these seems to help osteo pain) and Trileptal 300mg bid. And I am in an intensive outpt program. BUt what is normal??? And how will I know if meds are working? I wake up so depressed each day and go in and out of feeling suicidal (just for a few seconds), happy days are rare.
What should I expect? Will I ever be just a functioning person without all these mood swings? Thanks
