Got diagnosed with bipolar less than a month ago, I'm in one of my lowest points right now. Got prescribed Paxil 20 mg/day and lamotrigine 25mg/days and after a week-&gt; 100 mg/day. My sleep got worse real quick, and after a week and a half, my mood went from real low to "I have no f*ing idea what is happening", had rapid uncontrollable self deprecating thoughts, telling me my diagnosis is not right, I'm a fraud, I'm lying to myself and all that stuff. Was real shaky and jumpy, crying multiple times a day. After two weeks, got taken off Paxil, and lowered lamotrigine dose to 50 mg/day. My psychiatrist said, that it was weird, because Paxil dose was low enough, maybe it just wasn't right for me personally. Basically, after 2 days of dropping Paxil, I got stable enough, more or less, and went back to full depression. Can you guys share your stories, if you had any similar experience? I'm really confused about what has happened. Like, is that at least somewhat common? Next week, she's gonna prescribe me some other antidepressant, but I'm real anxious about that.
