    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 17. I've been taken Gabapentin & other medictions to help control OCD.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      It helps with my panic attack, I only take very lose doses as needed
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      This is an excellent mood stabilizer the side effect is that it sometimes spikes my blood sugar levels and then I get grumpy for a little while.
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      I take a very small dose of this as needed at bedtime ,it makes me feel drowsy, I take it if I'm manic and can't sleep.
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      Treatments

      Patience Too Soon to Tell
    • Open Short Stature

      Gen82 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Codependency

      Although it's embarrassing to admit I often feel like I cant' do anything (seeing a movie etc) unless I have someone else with me. My goal is to become comfortable with being independent and not let the fact that I'm alone hold me back from doing all of the things that I want to do.

      Treatments

      Reading Too Soon to Tell
      I've been buying several self help workbooks but haven't had the guts to crack em open and read them. I'm scared that I'll try the techniques suggested and they still won't work. Sometimes I wonder if it's better not to know.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I've suffered from OCD since the age of 5yrs old. Although I've been taking meds to treat it ever since I was 17. I've never tried to talk to others in a group setting. This is a huge step for me and I hope to gain some insight that might help me grow and fight my obsessions.

      Treatments

      Gabapentin Working / Worked
      This is the only med that I've been able to continuously take for several yrs as an alternative to lithium, ect.
      Zoloft Not Working
      I took this for several yrs and it worked great, unfortunately we had to keep increasing the dosage until it got so high (200mg)that my psychiatrist wasn't able to prescribe it anymore. I liked the fact that it seemed to help me deal with social anxiety, I had several friends while I was on this med...
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I too suffer from PCOS I was first diagnosed when I was 15yrs old. I'm mostly self conscious about the excess body hair (mostly on arms.)

      Treatments

      Aldactone Working / Worked
      Emotionally it's caused me to have more ups and downs, on a positive note it has slowed down my hair growth, slightly enlarged my breasts, and regulated my periods.
    • Open Acne

      I've had acne ever since I was 18 Although I've done an alright job clearing up my face. I'm hoping that someone can offer me advice on how to clear up my body acne..

      Treatments

      Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
      I tried the cream version of this, it worked but I decided it was too messy.
      Retin-A Working / Worked
      I've taken this for several years and it does a great job, the only side effect I've had is that it seems to aggravate my Rosacea.
    • Open Phobia
      Type: Social Phobia

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
    • Open Anger Management

      I've always had a lot of anger problems and would like to stop yelling so much because I always end up regretting it.
