For bipolar support
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- Makes me feel "numb".
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Is a complete LIFE SAVER for me. Without it, I was an anxious WRECK.
- Celexa Not Working
- Didn't work.
- Depakote Not Working
- Was put on for migraines. Didn't help.
- Haldol Working / Worked
- Was given shots of it at a hospital. Knocked me out cold.
- Holistic Health Working / Worked
- I have bioelectric massage. It is very calming, and helps my fibromyalgia.
- Lithium Not Working
- Lithium is horrible. Gained about 40 pounds, made me sick to my stomach all of the time, and plain didn't relieve either mania or depression for me.
- Seroquel Not Working
- This is the WORST drug EVER made!!! I literally threw up all day every day for the two years I was on it. Was also sooooo tired that I could barely take care of my family. In the three months I have been off of it, I've already lost 15 pounds (it put on 20), and have much more energy and am more stable.
- Topamax Not Working
- Was put on for migraine help. Didn't work. Not too bad of side effects though.
- Zyprexa Somewhat Helpful
- Was somewhat helpful, but only when I am VERY manic. The rest of the time it just puts me to sleep.
Close Self-Injury
Just to talk to others, give/get advice.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- I find one on one counseling more effective.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have a great therapist and it works really well.
- Rubber Bands Not Working
- Didn't work for me.
