My name is Christen. I'm 17 years old and l'll be 18 in July. At first, I was wrongly diagnosed with major depression. In the end, my diagnosis is bipolar II. My current medications are Lamictal, 50mg twice a day, and Paxil, 20mg a day.

I joined MD Junction to associate with people who understand what I'm going through. I need a place to vent where people will listen and care. This seems like the perfect place. Smile

I'm christen. My diagnosis is Bipolar II. My cocktail is Lamictal 50mg 2x/day and Paxil 20mg 1x/day. I may be imbalanced, but I don't bite. Let's be friends.
