Ok. So I can't exactly remember what I wrote in my last post. I guess I'll just start from about where I think I left off.
I found a new psychiatrist last month. Upon consultation she believes I only have depression, not bipolar disorder. I've been prescribed Zoloft and a sleeping aid, which I've been on for a month, tomorrow I'll be going into my 2nd. She believes a lot of the feelings and reactions I have had are due to stress, as opposed to bipolar disorder that generally speaking has no legitimate cause for changes in mood. To an extent, I understand this. However, I still feel like something is not quite right.
I do feel like I'm doing a little bit better, but I've still been very moody off and on. It doesn't take a lot to piss me off. However, I haven't been having the extreme ups and downs like I was before, not that I can recall over the last couple of weeks. Although I haven't been taking my sleeping pill regularly, and I'm finding I've been staying up later and later. And I have been very impulsive lately, making some very risky decisions.
All I guess I can do is give it some more time, maybe in another month or two I'll really be able to notice if the meds make a difference.
On a side note, the first week to two weeks I was on the Zoloft were the worst. Absolutely no energy whatsoever to accomplish anything. I hardly had the motivation for school and found it hard to do simple every day tasks like do my laundry. I was exhausted and lethargic. To an extent I still am, but I don't think it's as bad.
We'll see what happens. I'll update if anything changes.
