In Bipolar Support Forums > General & Support
"Hello Everyone. I decided to join in this group to hopefully get some answers from those who have experienced some of the different bipolar medications and treatment options. Thank you for letting me join in and ask a question or two.
I am 18 years old and was just barely (June 07') diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. I was taken off of my previously prescribed depression meds, Celexa,"

After 2 weeks of being sober he went into a manic state. In which he has tried a tone of different meds. He is now on 1000mg Depakote, and possibly Adderall (which he abused?). I question if these are the right diagnosis and meds"

"My doctor recently changed my diagnosis to Bipolar Type II. I have been battling what we thought was a very severe unipolar depression for almost 4 years. He said this was a good thing as it explained why the massive list of anti-depressants I have been on didn't work well.

"I was diagnosed w/ bipolar depression after I graduated high school summer of 2001, I didn't undergo treatment and I didn't take the medication. i figured I could control it on my own. I don't think I've done a really bad job, I felt strange telling my college buddies why I was taking pills, so I stopped. I haven't gone to another doctor since, but it's nice to find a place to talk about"
