I don't know if some of you remember but a little while ago I made a post concerning going into hospital. Well I decided to do it and it was the best thing I could have done. They did an EEG and discovered that I have Panic Disorder and Bipolar - what a fricking combination!
Anyway, they have got me stabilised on meds - around about 6 or 7 different ones (which will become less as time goes by) - and i feel really good and as if I can take on the world again. I know that I am by far not out of the woods yet, but i finally see a light at the end of my very dark tunnel (albeit a little dim, a light none the less).
Hope you are all well!
Lots of Love

Hi Mel,

I'm quite new to this site and wanted to ask you a question. Firstly though i'm so glad you have a diagnosis and are feeling better, (albeit a little).

I have been diagnosed with acute anxiety disorder, and have been put on Citalopram. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel even worse, and I think it's as a result of the tablets. Am going to therapist tomorrow so I guess i'll just explain everything to him. What medication are you taking if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Madeleine,
Well currently I am on a huge cocktail - zoloft, wellbutrin, lamictal, seroquel, and Xanor. They are trying to find the right mix to treat both my Panic and Bipolar. I'm going back to the PDoc for a follow up on Friday, so who knows it might change up again. I will definitely keep you posted.
