Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Hello, I have to upload a picture....I am a 29 year old female that was diagnosed when I just turned 21, I stumbled upon this site and it's AWESOME...hope to make some friends
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- I thought it was working, but then it was way too stimulating, terrible, first week or so okay, then I was Restless.....uggh, not for me.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- I have used drugs in the benzo category and they generally work though i find myself tired. Right now I'm taking klonopin and it leaves me tired at times, or not, depends on the time. I try not to take these unless needed for anxiety.
- Depakote Not Working
- this didn't work as it caused low white blood cell count. it was either this or the zyprexa, i can't remember which one....
- Lithium Working / Worked
- was on lithium for 8 or 9 years, seemed to stabilize me from manic episodes, but then later as of late doesn't seem to do much overall, especially around depressive episodes, if i had to though I would take it again.
- Risperdal Not Working
- I got the akanesia or whatever, constant movement side effect, I'm sure that's rare, but that's my luck, it was years ago.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- worked while i was on it, but I have ocd and I learned this is not a good drug to take with ocd......plus it made me drugged constantly when manic, in a fog, but it did have it's benefits like sleep.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- worked when I was younger then I developed bad side effects too most antidepressants. scary .......
- Zyprexa Not Working
- took years ago and either this or depakote caused low white blood cell count, I can't remember exactly which one it was.....
- Biaxin Working / Worked
- Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
hello, i have o.c.d. as well as bipolar and anxiety issues......anyway I saw some of your writing on here and felt like I was home, I have no one to relate to completely with the ocd thoughts and stuff, I hope we can be friends.....thank you
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
I suffer from pmdd, and other issues, but pmdd fits into this group
Treatments
- Oral Contraceptives Somewhat Helpful
- I have tried all progesterone creams, supplements and now am taking yaz......I'm only two months in, my boyfriend thinks i'm not as swingy, i also have bipolar disorder and the symptoms are a lot alike.....i feel a bit better though
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Be the best you can beI really got into working out almost two years ago, I love it!! and am always looking for more tips and such from others to stay in shape!
Treatments
- Aerobics Considering
- Only did step aerobics a short time. Kind of difficult and I didn't stick with it. All around aerobics are good, anything getting the heart working.,
- Dancing Working / Worked
- I love to dance~ definitely burns calories. I would like to get dance workout videos or take dance classes, lately if I do dance it's just sporadic.
- Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
- Used at the gym, great piece of equipment. Works great when doing cardio at the gym.
- Hiking Somewhat Helpful
- more of a leisure here and there hiker in the spring and summer, for fun......well fun once your at the top.
- Pilates Working / Worked
- did pilates a few years ago. I believe it's awesome, I just switched gears....maybe I'll get back involved. I'm a beginner.
- Running Working / Worked
- I have been into jogging for about two years or so. I really enjoy it. I jog a lot on my treadmill and have done some outdoor jogging. I love the way I feel after a jog.
- South Beach Diet Somewhat Helpful
- I did this diet years ago, I felt it was awesome while on it, but once you quit, not so much. I will say this, the info on diet is excellent and the glycemic index, it still influences how I eat today.
- Strength Training Working / Worked
- always great to build muscle~
- Weight Training Working / Worked
- I don't "lift" in the traditional style....just light weights and many reps, maybe this fits into the strength training category? either way that's my story
