    • About Me

      I was diagnosed in 2006 but have had problems for 13 years. My sister and father also have BPI. I was divorced in 2007. I work two jobs to keep myself very busy. It keeps me out of trouble. ;-) I have three cats that like to keep me company.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed in 2006 but have had symptoms since 1996. I need to find people that can understand me.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      Felt like I was still manic, had too many side effects.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      Been on it for 2.5 years. Works well but have had problems with my body absorbing the medication.
      Lithium Not Working
      Was super antsy on it. Couldn't sleep. Tremors.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Have been on it for 10 years off and on. Stay on low dose which helps to keep depression at bay but keeps me from getting too happy.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Only take when I am feeling very manic or if I feel a panic attack coming on. Has been a life saver.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Using now for sleeping. Has been wonderful with my mind racing. Shuts it down so I can sleep.
