Hi Kristi -
You're welcome. I would think after 2 months you should be feeling better. I'm glad that you are going to your doctor. From what I know, it takes a while to get a bi-polar dx. Usually it's diagnosis of depression treated with anti-depressants. After a while, the anti-depressants bring out the mania. Yee-hah!!!! I started with Prozac and life was retro-hippy beautiful. Then the mania hit. To this day, I still can't figure out how I spent $1,000 in half a day. LOL. I wish the best for you and will keep you in my prayers. Best of the Holidays to you.
Blessed journeys> Thank U so much for all the info. I'm on 225mg and feeling no improvement at all. I have an appt w/my Doc on 12/18 and I'm going to tell him it's not working. I've been on this dosage for 2 months. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for U coming off the med. It sounds horrendous!!! I've read enough to know that you can NEVER come off a med cold turkey. I've found that I have side effects that no one else has had. I had a very bad reaction to Paxil(Tinnitis) and my OBGYN said she'd never heard of that side effect with Paxil. My psychologist is going to test me Monday for Bi-Polar-maybe I'm just not taking the right med. I'd really like to get this straightened out-I really don't like myself right now.
