2 days ago, I (15F) was diagnosed with bipolar 2 within 20 minutes. My psychiatrist prescribed me tegretol that I started taking as soon as my blood test results came out yesterday night. I started taking them and supposedly they should take 2-ish weeks to kick in but idk it all seems so weird. I’m convinced he’s lying to me to say that Im attention seeking or something if I say it’s working. I think the pills are placebos so that im convinced it’s working somehow theres no way it’s real. My mom also didn’t want me to tell my school so I think she’s in on it. I don’t like this because the meds have a reaction with paracetamol that I had to stop taking for pain so if they’re lying it would be really annoying.
