I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2, mostly characterized by depressive episodes with very few and far between experiences with mania. I was prescribed Trileptal and it genuinely has changed my life. A month ago I couldn't leave my bed or work. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up screaming at night. But now, I have now gotten a new job, I can finally sleep at night and I am making good decisions about my future. For lack of a better description, I feel the most sane I have ever felt in my life. And maybe it's because I have gone so long without a diagnosis and proper medication, but I am just holding my breath for everything to come crashing down. What I am experiencing isn't like my normal hypomanic episodes which usually consist of severe agitation, bad spending habits, rash decisions and days without sleep. I am sleeping well, saving money, getting shit done and I am hopeful about my future for the first time in a long time. Is it possible that I am headed for a depressive episode and the medication just triggered a long episode of mania? Or is this just how normal people feel? It just feels too good to be true. I would really appreciate advice and if you have tried this medication let me know if it worsened your mania. Thank you so much!
