Hi:
NOW, I read your reply to my post as to Bp dx. while I was replying your another post, below.In my case,...I was labelled Bp II AFTER 5-7 days' Zoloft, one of 'potent' SSRIs med. back in 1997-1998. Then, actually, a majority of Bpers are dxed after taking one of SSRIs. Even, some of pdocs. rx'd an SSRI if he/she suspected your having Bp deep inside in your brain/predispostion. This theory and analyzation might suprise you in one sense if you're quite new to the community of mental illness. But, it's VERY true. Most of Bpers got a 'formal' name/label after taking an SSRIs. However, we shouldn't put a blame on SSRIs which rx'd by the pdoc., ... rather it's a relief while the saddness along with 'fear' lingering after got a name, Bp. The relief is the pdoc. is able to search and find a right med. combo. in order to help you out properly. Then, actually, it's a 'good' turn on which you'are able to concentrate on your med. regimen legitimately and decidedly.
In my experience on this, Bp journey, ... it's NEVER easy, frankly on both, financially and emotionally. The toll is quite high, truthfully. But, my family and all people who knows me well are all offerring me 'eternal' support along with 'heart-felt' encouragement.
The first and two years were most difficult time for me, a 'newly-dx Bp,' however, with a proper med. comb. rx'ed by a RIGHT pdoc., I've been quite stabilized for well over two years, now. Then, my advice, ... if you're formally dxed with Bp, try to stay on the right truck which include a 'daily med. regimen,' 'exercise,' and anything which would help you feel improved. Oh, forgot to mention, also the psycho-therapy I got in the beginning was a 'big' help since I was so devastated for dx, Bp.
Please keep us posted about your progress.
p.s.)I'm SO touched one of your posts, ... two young sons, one of who is autism who needs you BADLY.
