Story Misdiagnosed and mistreated

[Thanatos]

I have recently undergone ECT which has now induced mania. I've taken dozens of different meds all to no avail. I've only experienced unipolar depression symptoms until now(though honestly hypomania is possible). I feel like I've wasted enough time in this shitty treatment though and even if I could one day be "better" all I want at the moment is peace. I hope the treatment improves with time but it seems subpar at best currently. My day is still soon I am sure of that

Hi. Have you ever tried taking escitalopram or mirtazapine? They're different, definitely give each of them a try if you haven't yet.

Yes I have, I tried escitalopram on it's own and I tried mirtazepine in combo with effexor. I've also tried lithium, trazadone, tons of other SSRI's and SNRI's, and benzos for anxiety(only thing that's helped even slightly)

Idk if I was just fucked from the start or the meds made me worse but I'm borderline insane rn. I wish I had ctbd before all of this though seeing some friends for the last time has been nice I will admit. Looking for a September date currently
