Managing bipolar mood swings, anxiety, and depression requires a tailored plan prescribed by a psychiatrist. Treatment typically involves mood stabilisers (like lithium or lamotrigine) and atypical antipsychotics (like quetiapine) to balance moods and ease anxiety. Standard antidepressants are rarely used alone, as they can trigger manic episodes. The "sudden jolts" you are experiencing could be "brain zaps" often associated with anxiety or medication changes. It is crucial not to self-medicate. Please consult your doctor or psychiatrist immediately for a comprehensive evaluation to safely address these jolts and find the right medication combination for you.
