I talked to a mental health specialist at the clinic I'd been going to and was completely honest with her about my feelings of the help/non-help I was getting and my frustrations, my concerns, and my side effects/reactions to Serzone. She advised that since (after talking to another pdoc) I am going to see someone who will spend some time with me in three weeks, to discontinue Serzone (taper off). I'm doing that . It feels the best. I already feel better; (I did start my period today though too). I am on my third day of 50 mg as opposed to 300mg. I feel nothing but better - no withdrawals so far. My "agitation" is better too. I'm almost certain, after a lot of reflection of my history and talking with friends and therapist and the feedback I've gotten from this board, and a test I took, that I am BPII. I am getting off everything 'til I see my new pdoc in three weeks.
we'll see.
take care,
Katia
thanks for the links. I'll check them out.
