Get Well Soon!
Hey! Glad you are feeling a bit better. Been to stay at my Dad's and just got back. Don't know why it didn't go through, it would have to be a problem at your end unless it was saying undelivered?? My network is doing some updating at the moment and so my mobile is a bit unreliable. Been thinking of you, wishing you well! How are you doing? I'm stressed and busy as usual, but ok. Take care sweetheart, Trev x

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Was diagnosed with Bipolar in 1997 after a 2 day study at a sleep clinic. My GP started me on meds but didn't tell me why. I found out in 2003 about Bipolar. In 2004 I started seeing a phyciatrist (by request) At first he said he didn't think I had bipolar. I was on Hep C treatment at this time and also on 3 anti-depressents. 3yrs ago I went off all my meds. Still seeing my phyciatrist also. I went on a med free 15 mnth high then CRASHED! Started back on meds again in March 2007..aaahhh!
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Just started
- Clonazepam Too Soon to Tell
- Trying again..
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Saw a therapist for 2 years. Couldn't get a grasp on his therapy, maybe was not ready for this type of therapy? Stopped going for now.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Started taking March 2008. Took 100mg daily and now up to 200mg daily. Working wonderful with my other meds, especially the Lithium.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Started this med 18 months ago. Spent the first three months with death like symptoms..UGH! The first month I stopped rapid cycling..this med didn't work on it's own so we spent a few months trying to find something to add and Lamictal is the med that works well for me with the Lithium.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have been going to Psychotherapy for about a year now...I didn't open up until just recently...he says because of trust issues...he's right. I have found this very helpful to recognize my different negative emotions but I also have a hard time actually taking in all the past stuff...you know...I just want to focus on the future. I went because my pdoc asked me too and I think it may help in the long run.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Seroquel has been a hard med to overcome the side effects and I still get morning hang over but the benefits of a good nights sleep far outway the side effects. I take Trazadone with it for sleep.
- Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
- I took this med a couple of years ago but it didn't help. I started taking it again a couple of weeks ago at a low dose for sleeping and together with the Seroquel I am now sleeping through the night.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I keep track of my moods and my meds on line. I have a medical journal I keep also. These things have been handy to take to my pd appts.
Close Hepatitis C
Been sick since my early 20's. Was diagnosed with Hep C in 1995. Yahooo....finally know why I was so sick all the time. Did treatment in 2004 and Hep C negative since that time. Still feeling all the symptoms I had before treatment. Very frustrating!
Treatments
- Interferon, pegylated Working / Worked
- Did Pegatron in 2004 for 6mnths and been negative since.
Open Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
I was diagnosed with IC in 1997.
Treatments
- Ditropan Working / Worked
- Yes. I have been taking for 5yrs. It helps control the frequency.
Open Tinnitus
I started getting ringing in the ears in my early 20's. Didn't think much about it over the years. Alot of times when I get this ringing now it is so extremely loud that I feel my brain will explode! I also noticed that I hear lots of background noise and it is very distracting, I have to really focus on listening to hear the conversation around me. Background noise disrupts my thinking so it is very hard to stay in the moment when I am distracted by all these loud sounds.
Open Obesity
I don't have the energy to talk long, just to let you know I have gained around 70pounds over the past few years. Before this never had a weight issue. I am on Bipolar meds. which probably cause some to this awful damage! I always feel "fat" and am desperately seeking help!
