    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed in 2001 and it took me until 2007 to finally find the right "cocktail." I am very self-aware and take my meds. In 2007 I moved back to TX from Nashville, TN and it triggered a depressive episode. I still have yet to slip into a manic one. I feel I do much better when I have family support around me and people who understand what I'm going through on a daily basis. That is why I'm on here now.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      I have been on abilify for over a year now and it seems to be working well.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      I used this drug for 6 years, worked well, but it was a weight gaining drug.
      Geodon Not Working
      Didn't work, had side effects.
      Seroquel Not Working
      Tried this one out for 1 week and wigged out completely, went manic in the worst way.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Have been on for 5 years now and seems to be doing well.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      I use this drug when I'm manic, seems to help control mania.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Been on since 1999 before I was even diagnosed BP. Works great.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Have been on this since 2001, really helps with anxiety.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Its always helpful to see a therapist ... somehow your thoughts seem to be more organized and rational.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      The reason I chose to move back from Nashville, TN is to be closer to family. They have been the backbone through all the craziness of the past 9 years.
