Wow med empowered, that was interesting information.
I learned a lot.
To answer fires question about a real diagnosis for me; I don't know if I'll ever get one. My primary doctor seems to think I'm BP 2 while the psychiatrists said, " no bi polar just akathasia and anxiety."
I definitely tend to be more anxious than depressed, and then the longer I am anxious.. the more depressed I begin to feel.
Here lately, I notice if I can go a day or so wihtout the anxiety being too bad, the depression seems to be on the back burner.. it seems to always be "there" but not hanging directly over my head. Does that make sense?
The Klonopin helps calm me down and then I take Restoril to sleep at night.
I've tried to not use it for sleep and ended up realizing I needed it!
