    About Me

    I have Bipolar 1 Disorder, OCD, GAD and an Eating Disorder and am on SSD. I love music, biking and art and dogs. I have been married to a great understanding guy for 20 years. We have no children because of my illness. Nobody I know really understands the struggles I go thru everyday.

    Interests

    Enjoy hiking, walking on the beach and long drives with our 2 dogs, riding my bike and visiting with my niece and nephew.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was dxd. at about 28 to 30 years old. Bipolar I.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      This med. was a Godsend to me. I'm on the max. 30 mg. and have never felt as "normal" even when I was a child.
      Depakote Not Working
      Made me gain weight, lose my hair and lost my sex drive.
      Fish Oil Working / Worked
      Definitely working.
      Geodon Not Working
      Did absolutely nothing for my moods and caused me not to sleep at all.
      Lamictal Not Working
      Couldn't concentrate and I got a rash. Had to stop it.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      This med. helped with my bipolar and also allowed me to sleep at night. However, didn't like the side effects.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Lost too much weight. I am far from overweight and this made me get skeletal looking.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Caused me to not sleep for nights at a time. Had to go off of it.
    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Treatments

      Nicotine Gum Working / Worked
