That was actually my first idea back in 2006, that maybe, must maybe Cymbalta uncovered Bipolar Disorder in me.
But after more experiences with meds, I started to have every reason that its not Bipolar Disorder. That it is indeed meds affecting me the way I described to you they did.
And you'd have every reason to believe that its not BD as well, if you had taken into account the things I wrote in each of my posts on this thread.
But that's been my experience in Psychiatry. With only a few things I mention being taken into account, while the others are either ignored or they just assume what I must be misled about those experiences. I guess because they don't fit into the narrative they want my situation to fit into.
But its the equivalent to saying that the movie The Matrix was mainly about a love story, and not what it was actually about.Every time I go into detail about my situation, whether its to a new Psychiatrist I'm seeing or someone in a forum, I just get my hopes up that they're going to tell me that there's more to mental health "care" than what I've seen and read about. I mean, really, thank you for your time and your Med suggestions. But I don't believe there much hope for my situation.
I've been already taking an SSRI (lexapro and a few days ago I switched to Prozac) and so far, no manic reactions. Hurray! But I suppose Eric is going to assume that's because my Mania just hasn't kicked in yet. OR that I have qualification to be able to know what I experience, or how I feel. But like I said, that's what you get when you step into the world of Psychiatry, especially if your experience strays from the norm.
Anyway, its clear that there's nowhere to go for me to get any answers, to get some kind of hope. Not that I can actually feel hope. Or love, or Religion or anything else that makes life worth living. Its called Anhedonia. As well as a near absence of Affect.Thats what I have.
Peace!
