      I love the outdoors. Hiking, camping, fishing, even yardwork! I'm a water babe, love swimming. I like laughing cause I tend to be too serious. I think tattoos are sexy and have three of my own.

      From TOUCHED1 September 27

      I felt the same way when I was recently told I had bipolar at age 42 and still do not understand everything that is happening. A friend recommended that I buy a book called "Bipolar for Dummies" that is really helpful. I am going to buy it and read it. Good luck to you. Also, know that God is there for us!

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      Couldn't stay on it. Made me have terrible headaches, nausea and vomiting.
      Geodon Somewhat Helpful
      Was able to take it a couple years ago. Tried again in June and was horribly sick, couldn't stay on it.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      They work well.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Taking 400mg now. No side effects that I have noticed. Working well.
      Lithium Not Working
      Just didn't work. Caused bad acne too.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Have been off it since June. I thought it worked well for my OCD and depression. Pdoc said it was causing mixed states.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Started in June. 1200mg a day. No side effects. Does help the back pain. Not sure about my mood though.
