Prayer
Im doing well thanks sweetie
My mom died a year and a half ago. At first I think you're in shock even when they're ill and then of course so busy doing everything you have to. I didnt really grieve for a bit. But when it came it brought some relief as I had to get it out. I hope your hubby will be okay. I went to therapy for a bit and it helped. The minister will be there to talk with to if you want to talk about grief. You are both in my Prayers

Close Bipolar Disorder
I'm bipolar and PTSD. It's mostly my PTSD that bothers me but bipolar doesn't help. I'd gone off my meds cold turkey(I used to take depakote and lexapro), back in 2004, and the result was very bad. I'd have moments where I felt I was jumping out of my skin. Finally I saw another doctor who gave me some decent meds and now I'm doing much better. Every day's still a struggle but it's better than it was.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- At first we were trying to find out what dose I should take and now my doctor has me on 15 mg. It's working well now, after some teething problems.
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- This is a past med. It did keep me focused but made me DEPRESSED as hell. I had to take an AD just to keep from thinking suicidal thoughts. Also I gained about 50 lbs in 8 months, and lost all my energy, had pains all the time. The bad outweighed the good in the end.
- Geodon Not Working
- I was on this for about 3 months and it was nuts. I was agitated and snappish with everyone. This was recently, from about May until July, then I weaned off and went on Abilify. The depression I went thru while weaning off this drug was unbelievable. But thanks to good friends I got thru it.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Always worked well, feel MUCH more even. Sometimes still go into depressions or mixed states but not as severe.
- Zyprexa Not Working
- Another past med. I would fall asleep in the middle of having coffee. My hubs had to wake me before I dropped the cup in my lap! Also never wanted to get up in the morning.
