About Me
I had a son that died of SIDS in 1/07 via PTSD & Bi-polar onset when I was 30. I noticed I have not completed the stages of my greiving. Also, I have broke up with a 3-year relationship in which my mate was very mentally abusive. I am trying to deal with that now and trying to stay away from him and not take him back. I am here to find Daily Strength with these issues.

Close Healthy Relationships
I am greiving over a bad 2 year relationship. Trying to focus to turn - energy around to + energy toward daughter 12) Have good mood (hyper) via Bi-polar & PTSD; son died of crib death 1/97 caused onslot of these diseases (now disabled.) Moved to Maine 10 years ago (now 41) daughter's family lives here. See therapist weekly and take meds religiously. Daughter says I am in too good of a mood all the time. Still in love with old boyfriend but he was no good to be around. Greiving.
Treatments
- Depakote Working / Worked
- It has worked wonders but I can never shed that extra 30 lbs. Plus this medication does make you hungry. (note that Topomax counteracts this hunger) I have been on a diet for 6 years but heck I don't exercise either. I keep losing weight but it doesn't show on the scales. You stay the same size but just bulk up with muscle.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- You take your medication at night,then you wake up, it is like having nothing in your system and you are standing there with no batteries. You need to take something for your nerves to deal with rush. And with only 1 mg. pill, this will do the trick. It just relaxes you and will get rid of ticks in the eyes, etc. If your ticks don't go away, you may need more of THIS medication in the a.m. My pschiatrict taught me while under stress:"don't go for Kol., use Ser. 25-50 mgs. as prns instead
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- If you are one of those who experience mostly just hypernous, this is a wonderful drug, I take 300 mg. @ night. It really helps temper down those high attacks in the day. Plus with the added bonus of a sleeping agent, for as the real hyper ones like us, we have insomnia as well. Good luck!
- Talking Working / Worked
- Was a Legal Secretary from age 20 to 30. With a AA in Business Law via Cert. Legal Secty. Also worked in offices from 15-20; type 100 wpm
- Topamax Working / Worked
- Even on the Depokote and the Seroquel I still had something shaky in my mood control as I wasn't taking a mood stabilizer. It would still zoom up-&-down with an hour (I'm a rapid cycler). This helped calm that. The added bonus to this medication is that it makes you NOT FEEL HUNGRY to it helps fight the symptoms of the DEPOKOTE which promotes hunger, yahoo!!!
Close Bipolar Disorder
Hi, Bi-polar & PTSD set in @ the age of 30 when my son died of PTSD. I then moved to Maine where I have been for 10 years as my daughter lives here. I am grieving over the loss of a 2 year relationship (he wasn't very nice.)
Treatments
- Depakote Working / Worked
- works great but keeps that extra 30 lbs. on you
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- 300 mg. works well for people with hyper disorder, plus it acts as a sleeping agent for those with insomnia
- Topamax Working / Worked
- Works well as a mood stabalizer. Also counteracts the Depakote as it reduces the appetite.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- GET REAL, IF YOU ARE THAT SICK WELLBUTRIN ISN'T GOING TO HELP YOU DO ANYTING BUT QUIT SMOKING
- Zyprexa Working / Worked
- DO NOT SUGGEST - FELT LIKE A SCREW DRIVER WAS IN MY HEAD
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- 1 mg. in a.m. helps take the morning edge away + 1 prn in afternoon. If the 1 mg. doesn't take ticks, etc. away then you need a higher dose.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- I used to argue a lot with my kid. She is grumpy and I am not. She yelled @ me every a.m. One day I got stick of it and asked therapist for a anti-depressent. Now when she yells @ me I don't yell and get mad. If she keeps yelling I go to my room, change clothes & leave! She's 12, she can take care of herself!!!!!
