Finally got to a Psych this week after waiting 4 months. Since taking SSRI's for one year I noticed that my mood swings were worse. Started Lexapro 4 months ago and have had incredibly great weeks where I feel sooooooOOOO good (not to the extent of doing inappropriate things).
He has not given me a diagnosis but I am assuming I am somewhere in the BPII zone.
I just cant cope with the highs and lows and find it hard to plan my life in advance (eg, want to go back to uni next year but worried I will hit a low)
I wonder if I should just stop demanding so much of myself, stop feeling so 'driven' and relax and just live with the highs and lows or I should try some mood stabilizers and see how I go.
I am a bit scared of the lithium thing.
Anyone out there who can offer some advice?
