I had a high stress job, teen with
mental issues and a husband that is frequently out to sea
for weeks at a time. I went to my MD in November because I wasn't sleeping, confused and angry. He diagnosed me with major depressive disorder - put me on Lexepro & Trazadone for sleep. Went back twice to tell him the meds weren't working, in fact, I was worse. He doubled he dosage. It put me into acute mania.
The end of last month he said oh, you are bipolar.
