So I (F23) was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 2 years ago. I was on a low dose of lamotrigine/lamictal for about two months or so after my diagnosis. It helped control my hypomania but left me feeling depressed so I quickly stopped taking it. Since then I haven’t taken any meds, and my life is largely unaffected by my bipolar diagnosis. I definitely experience irritability, occasional hypomania, but it’s never severe enough where I feel medication is necessary? But Im concerned because I hear oftentimes that when you’re young symptoms are a less pronounced and that that as you age manic episodes becoming more frequent and more severe if the person goes without medical intervention. So Im wondering if anyone can give me perspective on how their bipolar disorder and symptoms changed as they aged (with or without meds)? Thank you!!
