Suggest treatment for bipolar disorder and depression
human
I am a 49 year old female with a lengthy medical history that includes chronic pain that is resist. I am contacting you because my primary doctor has taken an unexpected leave of absence for an indeterminate amount of time.     I could choose another doctor but the change would not be active until the first of the next month after I changed it. He has been my doctor for twelve years and if possible I don’t want to choose someone else. Further, the remaining doctor at that just instituted a no pain medication policy so this is my only option right now.As I stated, I have been treated for pain for the following conditions:Periformis muscle symdromDegenerative disk diseaseMisaligned SpineFibromyalgiaMigrainesIT Band injuryEvery three to four months I get a RFG injection for my back..it takes a bit of the edge off but it doesn’t go away , and I even signed myself up for PT, but the ones in my area are all backed up with appointments. I have to be somewhat out of pain to withstand the PT, and am due for one now. I have been told that people with fibromyalgia feel more pain than those without.In addition to the pain issues, I have (years ago) been diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder ll, with a lean toward reactive depression. With that comes the extreme anxiety, and add that to the pain and it’s a vicious circle.I am o.k. on pain meds for now,  but really could use something for the extreme anxiety. I am jumpy and a nervous wreck most days, and at bedtime I can not sleep. If I got more than three straight hours straight in the last several weeks, I’d be very surprisedCan you help me?
