update on medication

well, i was on mirtazipine for my bipolar, with this, i started to feel more and more suicidal, which concerned both my family and my doctor. To top it all off, i have had a really bad chest infection and tonsilitiis.
Went to see my doctor on thursday last week and she yet again changed my meds this time to duloxetine. i am having a few side effects at the moment whilst the meds kick in, but am feeling ok at the moment. My doctor was keen to point out that these might help my weight loss, so am hoping these help with my moods.
Its also been a bit of a rushed weekend as my other half has had a sickness bug, so have been grabbing quick foods inbetween sleeping and looking after him. Am keeping my fingers crossed i dont get this bug as i start back at college tomorrow.

Definitely keep your bi-polar in order with the meds. Checking in with your Dr. the first time you feel off or someone else notices is so important. I have severe depression and have to check in pretty regularly. Your medicine needs may change as you lose weight. So keep a close eye on it. (ps. I have a bi-polar child)
