I'm recently diagnosed bipolar and medicated and I've been feeling terrible and crying every day for over the last 3 weeks. I was on lamictal and geodon for the first 2 weeks now I'm on lamictal and abilify for the last week. I'm not enjoying anything in life, hobbies, eating or even sleeping. I barely sleep 4 hours a night and I'm restless the whole night. my psychiatrist is giving me a sedative to try and help me calm down. I'm beginning not to trust him because of how much worse I'm getting by the day.
Update: my psychiatrist prescribed klonopin and it's really helped me stop crying. He told me it should help me sleep but it so far hasn't had anywhere near that effect.
