Hi.
I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 1. I am currently taking lexapro 20mg and Depakote 500mg. I have a strong history of Bipolar in my family. ( mom-suicide-1989) My doctor asked me some tranlations of cliche's ie dont cry over spilt milk and to count backwards in multiples of 7. I have no extreme manic episodes but have definately had depressions. I do have some very mild mania but more than anything i went in to deal with extreme anger swings. The doctor in a single half hour visit said bipolar 1. I am in my 3rd week of meds. I feel shaky, and very hyper. Something I hadn't felt before. Last week I could barely function I was so tired. I am willing to accept a bipolar, but I think I am a 2. Am i in Denial? What about this combination of drugs? I feel like I am having an axiety attack, (wich i haven't had in years).
