I am thoroughly confused right now..
I started Lexapro because of anxiety and panic attacks. They have been elimanated and in the process, I have been left with extreme head fogginess, like I'm not real, etc.. I also notice I can go from feeling almost euphoric to severely and utterly depressed.
I've never had depression until one month on this Lexapro.
So I am telling my doctor all this today and she says, " I think you may be bipolar. Do you have a family history?"
the thing is.. I do. My father is severely bi polar and his mother was as well (she committed suicide).
And yeah, maybe my weirdness the last few weeks seems like it BUT I've never had this until a month on Lexapro. Why would I suddenly be bipolar?
They are sending me to a psychologist in the morning. Hopefully they will listen to me and rule out just a reaction to the Lexapro..
I don't want to be in a denial but I just don't see any symptoms (up until this past month) that are anything like my dad and grandmother.
I am so frustrated.
