thanks for your encouragement. I have a short vacation & feel more balanced but am afraid once I get back in the swing of work & daily life I might loose it again. I will consider the local group...but am not sure how public I wish to be. Because of what I do I have a huge concern for confidentiality. Perhaps later I wlll msg you about some laundry issues. Hope life is treating you well.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Self-Marketing Mania and Dissolusioned Depression. I fill all the blanks in between.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Worked. Brought me down from a Mania that had jetisoned me into the hospital. Has been overall quite effective.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- knocked me out 95% of the time.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- On fairly briefly due to the fact that I was thought to be going toxic on this med.
- Depakote Working / Worked
- Quite effective. Had changed my outlook on Bi-Polar Pharmaceuticals completely.
- Geodon Working / Worked
- Very effective. Allowed for clarity of understanding in Computer Science courses.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Has swung my mood swings to a positive realm of much less varience between Mania and Depression.
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- The least effective of the atypicals on me, it offered an intermission in between, but soon needed to be augmented by more meds.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- An unexpected surprise, this pill calmed me down even more than the lithium, and did not make me heavily sedatied. Also Stabilized my sleeping patterns.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- The SR or XL version of the drug was higly effective and also did not have too many side effects. Problems with sexual activity sometimes, though.
- Zyprexa Working / Worked
- The 3rd anti-psychotic I was placed on, it offered some serious benefits to my Bi-Polar disorder, but lasted for six years until my doctor decided to restart me on it. Henceforth has not been very problematic for me as far as sedation, but has done much good for my mood.
Close Schizophrenia
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Very positive for anti-psychotic. Lasted a very long time on its own with me, then after that became useful as an adjunct.
- Cogentin Working / Worked
- Did work, it just made me vomit once weekly, that's all.
- Geodon Working / Worked
- Geodon initially made me hyper, but after about 7 weeks of being on it, it was still a very positive med to work with.
- Loxapine Working / Worked
- Slight Parkinsonianism from this drug. Used for a period only of months. However, seemed to keep me calm, cool and collected about myself as well as even suave with the public.
- Prolixin Working / Worked
- Gave me a very seditave time, but talked to doctor and finally convinced them to remove me from this pill to something a little less seditave in the first generation class, a.k.a. Moban
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- First med I was ever on, it was highly affective in comparison with some, just less effective than others. Last time I was on it was Dec. 2004.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- A suprise hit with me, this med did give me panic attacts, but after 6 weeks they went away. Otherwise, it has done wonders for my psychosis.
- Thorazine Working / Worked
- On one night for help with sleep. I was practically in a coma that night and next day. This was due because the medication was combined with Ativan.
- Zyprexa Working / Worked
- This is also a miracle pill to me, as I went back to college, this was the first pill I used and it helped me out very well.
Open The Financial Crisis
As a good natured self-employed and also a worker for a given company, I find that there is a difficulty in making sure this economy is something I can survive. I am probably one of the best insulated people from a social problem, because I get government money and private money. Oh, well, if you like I shall discuss with this group a few issues that come up with my life. I will show you the economy and how it affects me. Thanks. --moah
