Hi!

I am 24 and was recently diagnosed with BPD and major depression. Although I was always a really good student in the recent years at university my performance got worse and worse due to the mental illness (and also loosing interest in the field I am studying) and now I can't even concentrate and hold my train of thought anymore so I will most certainly take a break from university.  

At the moment the medication I take is Sertralin and Atarax (Hydroxyzine). Does anyone have experiences with both of these medications? 

Since I have pretty severe mood swings I wanted to try antipsychotics, but my neurologist is kind of not really motivated to prescribe them. Does anybody has any experiences regarding BPD and antipsychotics. If yes, what works for you?

Thansk for any answers!
