now i'm bipolar!

Posted by katieb on May 3, 2002, at 16:12:40

so, i wanted to get some feedback on my latest doctors appt. my history is that i have had GAD for over 8 years (i'm 25) but did not start meds till about 6 months ago. i got up to 40mg paxil/15mg buspar and became hypomanic. went down to 30mg paxil and the anxiety and depression came back. last week i started tapering off the paxil and started on 20mg celexa (also cause of weight gain).

basically i've had the most awful week ever, depressed, unmotivated, paranoid, etc. today at my appointment my doctor suggested that i may be bipolar and we might want to start mood stabilizers (he suggested wellbutrin) because the earlier you go on them the better the prognosis.

what do people think? is this the history of someone who's bipolar (he said i was young enough that i hadn't had a manic episode yet).

thanks!
kate
