    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Curiosity. I am a Bipolar, curious about the treatment, success and frustrations experienced by others with the same diagnosis.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      Could not tolerate.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      Took for 2 years. Stabilized my moods, but when I discovered that I had no memory of those two years, I discontinued it.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Negative side effects: hand tremors and short term memory loss. Positive effects: weight loss and eliminated a large portion and severity of migraine headaches.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Took for 2 years. Worked well as an antidepressant, but after a time seemed to lose its effectiveness.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      Stabilized moods, but side effects were profoundly negative: weight gain, high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes after 2 years of use.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Decent results as an antidepressant and helps signifigantly with general anxiety. Negative results Have been primarily manic for over a year. I am reading that its use without a mood stabilizer triggers mania. Didnt know that. Maybe I should go back on Topamax?
