As a bipolar2 patient with a history of hypomania induced by ssri drugs, why do the psychiatrists keep giving me different ones
Post Body

Im not trying to be mean about the doctors

Im 35 female, bp2, ptsd, ocd, currently on lamictal 200mg and buspar 10mg

As an undiagnosed teenager i was given several different drugs. Prozac, paxil, lexapro, celexa, zoloft, effexor, cymbalta, welbutrin, vistaril, luvox

I kept returning to the doctor office complaining of my moods up and down, feeling angry, feeling worse. After each return i was given another and another, or different dosages, or different combinations. Finally i stopped taking them altogether. When i was 29 i was given zyprexa and latuda, both caused me to hallucinate. Then i was given lamictal and boop my mental problem was solved, which means i suffered for 15 years for no reason

I possibly have adhd but my new doctor is giving me everything except a stimulant. For 3 months i took strattera with a lot of up and down moods and a lot of anger. They then decided qelbree but that was worse. With both of these drugs i had intense outbursts, meltdowns/tantrums, mini hypomanic episodes, random crying spells. Since stopping these 2 drugs i have returned completely back to normal.

i told them ive had years of symptoms like this, why would they give me either of these 2 drugs? I have a follow up on the qelbree in 2 days. I chose to stop taking it on my own.
