    • About Me

      I am an elementary teacher (2nd grade). Most of my time is devoted to my job. I've been married for 23 years and have two grown sons. I enjoy being with my family most of all. I like sitting on my deck w/ my husband while watching for deer and looking over the pond. I love watching chick flicks with my friends.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My name is Delena. I'm 39. I teach 2nd grade at a rural school. I've been married for 23 years and we have two sons. I battled with what I thought was depression for many years and just now discovered that it is bipolar. I was doing great on Lamictal until I had a bad rash on my face and had to discontinue it. Now I'm on Seroquel and sleeping better.This is the first time I've ever joined a chat group.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      bad rash on the side of my face that was like poison oak. I had to discontinue.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I just started taking it for the first time two nights ago (100mg). I woke up w/ a heavy drugged feeling. Then I started blacking out. That was around 6:30am. I didn't get to the point of functioning until 10:00am. I tried 50 mg the next night and slept like a baby.
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      worked well but lowered my immunity
      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      helped my social anxiety but had trouble with cognitive functioning
      Trileptal Somewhat Helpful
      didn't control the mania
