> I have been diagnosed with depression and bipolar II and am currently takening topamax and Desipermine. Topamax helped with the moods until last week when I had a very hypomanic episode with my heart pounding, only sleeping a few hours a night and a very irratable mood. I haven't been feeling very well. My doctor had to give me Ambien for sleep. I attempted suicide last year. Sometimes I don't know when it is all going to end. I am not sure if maybe I am just caught up in all of this and just "addicted" to all the of the doctors visits and therapists visits. I wonder if it is time to just stop all the medication and therapy. I feel like I am on a rollar coaster I can't get off of. These are painful feelings to admit to,does anyone else feel this way? Please Help. Lexie
Lexie, I'm more depressed right now than I've ever been. So I hear you loud and clear. All that keeps me going is hope that eventually, I'll be able to climb out of the black hole I'm in and get back to living. So I've decided to continue with the meds, and the therapy, and just keep on trying. Hope you will be able to go on, too. Please keep me posted on how you're doing!--Cindy W
