Thanks for the note. Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. I'm having a rough time lately. I hate this illness because it keeps me confused most of the time. I never have a firm grasp on reality, so I have a hard time making decisions I feel secure about. Hearing from you has put a smile on my face. I have missed you friend. Hope things get better for you. Love, Lupita

Hope you have a good day...

hi love how u doing did you get my email with pic of my grandson Tyler he is beautiful xx been having alot of problems recently everything seems to b going wrong doc has sent me back to the shrink as iv been going downhill fast i have been in hospital for 3 weeks because i tried to commit suicide, i just wish i had succeeded too much is going on and i cant cope with it. Dave tries to be supportive but i feel he doesnt really understand my illness. He tells me to talk to him and i do but i sometimes feel like im talking to a brick wall. I know its not his fault and he is trying so hard. I think i should get the doctor or the shrink to talk to him. hope ur ok and still doing well. Please let me know if you got the pic of tyler if not i will resend you one. take care my friend xx i miss you soooo much xx think of you all the time

Close Bipolar Disorder
Recently re-diagnosed with Bi-polar II and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD; sturggling with every day life and medications.
Treatments
- Ambien Working / Worked
- Knocks me out each time I need it. Best take after you have got in the bed, otherwise you might take the trash out in your underwear or put the milk up in the cabinet.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Eased anxiety well, did little for insomnia. Overall, I would give it an A-
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- Knocks my booty out, so it is good.
- Cymbalta Not Working
- I am maxed out on my dose now, but it seems to be a dud.
- Geodon Working / Worked
- It has worked miracles with as a general mood stabilizer. I am no longer suicidal. I can think more clearly. It has lifted me from the darkest, deepest doldrums.
- Lamictal Not Working
- I only took it a week or so, but it erased any sense of humor I had and gave me flu-like symptoms.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Worked fabulously for sleep and anxiety; unfortunately, I wanted to eat all the time and my blood sugar level was elevated to a dangerous level.
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- Back on Wellbutrin XL to supplement the Cymbalta. We shall see what happens.
- Gabapentin Somewhat Helpful
- More commonly known here as Neurontin, it has made a space cadet out of me since I started taking it.
Close Alcoholism
I have come a long way from drinking wine first thing in the morning and getting plastered at lunch, spending $50+ in one sitting on booze. I still struggle with binge drinking when I do drink.
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Considering
- I can quit for weeks at a time, stone sober. I always fall off the wagon, though.
- Trazodone Not Working
- No longer take, made me crazier than a sh*thouse rat.
- Willpower Working / Worked
- Always a work in progress.....
Open Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Need I say more?
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- Good stuff, except it is habit forming and one builds an immunity to it...
- BuSpar Working / Worked
- Worked until I took an entire bottle in a suicide attempt.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Worked for 3 months, then pooped out.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Horrid drug, for me, killed sex drive and worse!
- Valium Working / Worked
- Same with the ativan.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- No effect.
- Cymbalta Too Soon to Tell
- Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
- I am paranoid about benzodiazepines, but it helps some with anxiety.

Diagnosed with GERD after I was hospitalized with complications - gastro-intestinal bleeding and errosive esophagitis with gastrtis. Too much booze, aspirin and a strong family history. Take protonix each day now. Seems I have screwed my digestive track.
