Hello all, This is my first post.
I have had problems with depression for many years but never deal with it. I have done many things in life but have troulbe completing almost anything. I have recently started counceling and medication. I dont know how to evaluate my doctors or the care they are giving me due to a lack of experience. I don't have anyone to talk to about what I am going through or idea of whats out there. I am on Lamictal and Celexa. I have never been on any medication for mental illness in my life. The doctors have not given me an diagnosis on my problem but from what I pick up from them, its seems to be some form of fast cycling bi polard disorder. My question is I have been on the meds for three months. I started with 10 of clexa and 25 of lamicatal I am now up to 40 of celexa and 100 of lamictal, I have not noticed any real changes and just a few side effects which seem to be increasing. In addition I have not had a physical or blood work prior to being medicated. Does this seem normal? What should I do? I am growing more and more hopless and there seems to rarly be anything that I like doing or I get enjoyment from. I am 25 and fear that ny life is passing me by and have missed countless opportunites do to this. What can I do?
