Wavering again       07/23/04 01:00 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Don't worry. I started the medicine again after I saw the doctor. But now I'm questioning that decision. I remember why I stopped it---it makes me so tired. It's the middle of the afternoon and I just want to crawl in the bed. I have no energy. I don't want spend my whole life feeling drowsy./and being overweight. Now I don't want to take it again. It's Trileptal I take. I'm only taking 150 mg. twice a day, which is a very low dose. I've been up to 375 mg. twice a day, but that caused double vision. Then I was taking 300 mg. twice a day, and I don't remember why I reduced that dosage. I've tried almost all the meds for bipolar---and I hate them all. Why can't they just give me a freekin antidepressant like everyone else? I took Zoloft for 18 months and did fine, altho I didn't sleep well while on it, but I think that's common. After all the docs I've seen, you'd think one of them would've told me what kind of bipolar I have, but no one has. They all say, "I dunno." (Gosh, makes me feel like some weirdo. Am I that baffling?) I wonder if I even have the right diagnosis. My husband says, "Gee, how many doctors have to tell you you have it before you believe them?" You know what I think? That bipolar is the "new, hot" illness right now, and I bet if a group of you went in to see a psychiatrist, the majority of you would come out with this diagnosis too.
