Hey everyone,
I have recently been diagnosed with bipolar II.
I've been on lithium and seroquil for three weeks now. Yesterday my dose was upped to 900mg/day. Will I ever get my brain back??!?
I used to be very intelligent when I wasn't crying in agony... but now... memory loss and forgetting simple things . Rage... more than before... absolutely no filter .. I say what's on my mind now good or bad. I just feel different. But I do not want to to be dependent on ANYONE ever, does it change . I feel so alone because I do not know a soul that has this. I Haven't been to work in like 7 weeks. Will I be able to do my same job again. It requires a lot of memorization and repetitive tasks and attention to detail etc. Please , if anyone can please just share their experience with me. I feel scared alot because I don't know what to expect. I feel better emotionally mind you, but I feel like I traded in my Intellect for emotional stability right now.
Thanks.
