    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I am SoulDrifter, 28 years old. I have BP2 and suffer from suicidal ideation. I was diagnost in October 2007. In 2006 I was diagnost, but was not told by the docs or any of the staff. Anyway, I grew up in a house hold full of abuse (most was mental) and drugs, prostitutes, alleged child molestors, gang bangers (gang members). you name it, more than likely it or they were in my home. sometimes it is a wonder that I am alive along with my suicidal attempts.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      I took this for about 2 months and it did not do a thing except for make me feel like a junkie. Jitters, restlessness, anger, irritablity, and droziness.
      Celexa Not Working
      I took this med for 4 months and made me do nothing but want to kill myself. it did nothing to stop or slow my racing thoughts and it just msde my suisidal thoughts worse.
      Depakote Not Working
      I took this for about 13 months. It helped some but not much. It made me gain so much weight in a small amount of time.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I am currently taking this for anxiety and to help me sleep. i have not had any bad or adverse effect from this med. so far so good.
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      I think I may have to up the dosage. I still have the racing and suicidal thoughts.
