Bipolar Disorde
"I recently found out I was bipolar 2 at the age of 24. I was 16 getting panic attacks didn&#039;t think anything of it. Finally I started getting more stress as I got older. I was on an antidepressant for 4 years not knowing I was bipolar. Someone who is bipolar should not just take an antidepressant because it will just put them into mania. That is what was happening to me. I checked myself into the hospital for intrusive thoughts, I&#039;m not depressed I don&#039;t want to hurt anyone or myself but didn&#039;t know why these thoughts were coming so often. I also suffer from severe anxiety. I now take 40mg of Prozac 500mg of Depakote and 0.5mg of Ativan twice a day on Ativan. My medicines are starting to work wonders for me. I&#039;m me again!"
