    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Hi, my name is Patti. I was diagnosed Bi-polar about 4 years ago. I knew I suffered from it long before the official diag. I am taking Wellbutrin now, I have tryed quite a few meds, just couldnt stay on them. I knew I needed one just for Bi-polar. My imbalances, have made it hard to keep a job. I was in nursing, but had to retire for Health reasons.I also suffer from Hep C, which I contracted on the job. Im doing ok .I tryed treatment for it, but got too sick. Too low white blood cells.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      I suffer from panic attacks, so I take them PRN.
      Lamictal Not Working
      I got the worst headaches for 4 months straight. Im trying to start a new med this month..
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      I take about 50 mg. before bed, works great, as long as you get right to bed.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Wellbutrin is working good for depression, I had started Lamictal, but it didnt work for me headaches. I may try Abilify next.
    • Close Hepatitis C

      Hi.., I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. with Hep C during a Routine physical. Shocked me!! I was a Reg. Medical Assistant, and worked with patients drawing blood, and minor surgerys. I was poked alot..Call me clumsy. I worked in a few labs also. I wasnt cautious.I lost my career,Im retired now. SSI. pays my rent. I tried treatment approx. 3 years ago. Couldnt finish. Low white blood count, and enemia. I had extream panic attacks while useing the Interferon, and Ribvarin.

      Treatments

      Interferon Somewhat Helpful
      It was awful, terrible sides, I was halucinating, colors kinda. The terrible taste in my mouth made me feel yucky..I only made it for 4 months. Low white blood count, and enemia, and lots of sides..My viral load did go down for awhile.
      Ribavarin Somewhat Helpful
      Same thing, terrible sides, I could only stayon it for 4 months. My viral load, did go down about 6 million, in that short time, but now its going up again..That was 3 years ago.
