Bipolar help

[Julestribe]

I have had mental issues my whole life.  My Dr. started prescribing me atidepressants & Ativan about 13 yrs ago.  Over the yrs. I've been on & off many atidepressants, went to several Phyciatrists & the dose of the Ativan ended up @ 1mg 3 x day.  The outcome has been I had 3 suicide attempts & ended up in a mental inpatient for a wk.  At this point I'm off the Ativan (thank God) and on an antidepressent.  I've beed diagnosed w/ depression, anxiety & bpd.  I just came out of a mania & have never been dx w/ bipolar & about ready to quit my job again.  Please give me some helpful advise.  Thanks.

I'm no expert and I agree with Dolphin.  But my gut feeling is that you need to find a new pysch--one that will work with you long term and get you the right meds to help you.  Don't give up.  I know that sounds unrealistic but it can take a long time to find the right treatment.  You have to be an advocate for yourself and your right to feel relief, happiness, peace, etc.

Have you tried talking to your doctor about about the bipolar issue? You might wanna try doing some research on anti depressants for bpd and talk to your doctor.
