Does anybody suffer Really bad Anxiety along with their bipolar?
I’m on 40mg of fluoxetine and 200mg lamotrigine and the fluoxetine doesn’t seem to be doing much for the anxiety anymore, Iv been on it for a good few month and every-time my dose goes higher it just stops helping after a couple of weeks again. And today I just felt overwhelmed with everything even just going good shopping and the fact the garden grass needed cut just everything was stressing me out I burst into tears on the bus. I’m always waking up stressed and I feel absolutely worn out.
Yes! I have terribly anxiety with my bipolar. Just the other week it was super bad and I couldn't make a decision to save my life for fear of making the wrong choice. My husband saw I was having a bad day and asked me what I wanted for dinner. I burst into tears and just sobbed. I often fear my personal safety with no reason to fear. My anxiety ramps up these thoughts. I've noticed thiugh out the years before properly diagnosed, that while on anti-depressants only. My anxiety goes through the roof. Sorry you struggle with this too. Just know you're not alone in your struggles. Take care
Thank you I’m also on lamotrigine however they do very little for anxiety, my mood is stable but flat most of the time glad I’m not alone.
