I’m 23 M and was just diagnosed about a month ago. I went on Lamictal which was fine. The past week and a half I have been a little all over the place and took a impromptu trip with a colleague. I am a student and when I’m like this I’m highly productive. I had an appointment with both a psychiatrist and psychologist who said I was manic and needed to take antipsychotics. I tried them but they made me feel restricted and slowed me down. Why would I want to change this especially when I’m being so productive? I also wonder if I even am bipolar even though I was diagnosed by two people. I just don’t feel bipolar or erratic. I guess I don’t know if I should take the antipsychotics or not.
