> Katia -- 2 YEARS of searching?? This is what I fear. It's been 1 full year of searching for me, and if I'm not stable by september 1, I've decided to try going off meds and trying something else. The rollarcoaster ride of trying meds is driving me and my husband (and three young kids) crazy. I don't know where you got the patience.
Hi,
It wasn't patience. There was nothing else I could do except keep trying or live like I had been. For the first year, I was wrongly dxed with just depression. So after the dx was correct, it took about 9 months. And not to say it'll stay like this, you know? I also took a break from it all in January and experienced a hypomanic phase and bought a house! I am happy with the purchase however. I also went through terrible terrible times of rollercoaster mood swings. Just awful times.
I started trusting my instinct about meds and took much lower doses than i had been and this helped. I think part of my not finding the right meds was being over medicated.
I'll write more later if you want to continue the discussion. My coffee's brewed!
