After 3 yrs on various SSRI's for anxiety & depression, my doctor has rediagnosed me as mild bipolar and says the SSRI's were making it worse.
I am on day 7 of 200mg x 2 of Carbatrol. However, the withdrawal symptoms from SSRI's and
"start-up" symptoms of Carbatrol are almost identical so I am all screwed up. Sweating, anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, headaches, instability, crying jags, etc. I also take Klonopin and Neurontin, so I'm on a whole handful of anti-seizure medications. Anyone else in the same rocky boat? Is it worth waiting it out?
