    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have been diagnosed with Bipolar since last year. My moods are very up and down. I began a very difficult addiction and struggle everyday with it. I am addicted to gambling and truly like it a lot, however, I get great counselling to keep me away from it. I am on a lot of different drugs and I hope with using a support group I may find other ways to work on this disorder.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      like this drug a little too much so I am weaning off of it.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I think it is working
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Need it for my sleep I have terrible sleeping habits.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Hope to go off soon
      Effexor Working / Worked
      This is the best drug for me as I see things so much brighter
