    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have bipolar one disorder with psycotic features. I would like to meet and talk to people who have the same problem and see what kind of meds they are on and if they are helpful.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      Horrible medicine. Made me have blurry vision and restlessness.
      Ativan Working / Worked
      I take this as needed for panic attacks. It makes me thirsty and have dry mouth. Helps calm me down though.
      Depakote Too Soon to Tell
      I took this while I was hospitalized but they took me off of it afterward. It did not seem to make any difference since I was still on lithium also when i was taking it.
      Geodon Somewhat Helpful
      Worked pretty good for my hallucinations but it had sexual side effects that I couldn't deal with
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      I am in group thearapy. It helps to be able to complain about my symptoms once a week or so.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Lithium seems to work well but it does have one bad side affect, it makes me shit all the time.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      It works better than the other meds ive taken but I am gaining some weight. No other side affects.
      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      It worked I am going to keep going. It made me hallucinate but it made me less afraid of them.
