Hi all, I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice. In July 2010 I was diagnosed with bipolar and have been on Paroxetine 10mg and then 20mg. The 20 made me hyper and so my psychiatrist put me on 10 again but with a mood stabiliser called lamictal (gradually increasing to 150mg). I felt ok for several months. One month ago, started getting tearful anxious and feeling low so spoke to psychiatrist gave me diazapan for immediate relief from anxiety and upped the Paroxetine to 20 again.
After two weeks there was some improvement however, This week I have felt very low very anxious and tearful and I feel worse than before. I am worried that the meds are not working. Seeing doc tomorrow.
Has anyone else had experience of shortly after an increase in meds, they seem to have no effect? Is this just a blip or normal?
Advice welcome and gratefully received.
