      From bichonlvr June 8

      Hope you are doing better. I have had a little today too. I take metoprolol & it seems to really help. You are cared about, I know it's hard to hear that in your heart, but suicide is not the answer. I do understand that pain. Breathe, breathe, breathe! All will be well. Take the meds & know we are out here for you

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have been diagnosed with bipoloar disorder. I wanted to join support groups so that I don't feel so alone in my life. I also wanted an opportunity to give and recieve helpful information in how to manage the disorder.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      It worked for me mood wise but I got blurry vision and really bad restlessness. I would pace and it made me manic. I wouldn't need sleep.

      It did not work for me. I can't remember specifically the side effects I got but I think it was severe headaches.

      I am going to start DBT within the next few months. I am excited to start this treatment.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      So far I think it's working. I have the side effect of not eating. I forget to eat because I'm never hungry so I have to learn to manage this symptom.
      Lamictal Not Working
      It did not work for me. I got a bad rash.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      I am currently on this. I am going to ask to have the dosed increased because I still feel depressive symptoms but it's the only antidepressant I haven't had a reaction to so I am going to keep on it.
