About Me
Hello- I am 21 years old, have been living with Bipolar since I was 14, wasn't treated correctly untell I was 16. Gave the "no medication" thing a try for a year, it wasn't to pretty. But I must say, I have learned a lot about myself during that year. I'm getting back into mental health after moving to a new town it's been hard to make myself get into it again. But my husband and I want to start a family as soon as we can, so hopefully things go well!

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have been living with bipolar since 14 years old, recently coming back to therapy and medication after giving it a go alone, it wasn't to pretty! Wanting some support, and understanding, as bipolar is not so well-accepted to everyone!
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Took this for years after I was correctly diagnosed, work well from the beggining was my main drug. May go back to it, we'll see! Not to bad side effects, but medication in general doesn't sit well with my migraines.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- After a few others I went on this and was on it for a few years, worked well. Actually work well for a cousin too, bio-wise I guess it carries over. Side effects weren't too bad, a few, short lived things, I just hate them!
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- Tried Wellbutrin right after being diagonsed correctly, I was on VERY strong anti-depressives so this one help me transition from those to what I actually needed! Annoying side effects, got a little better over time but didn't go away.
Close Back Pain
Recently crippled from training horses, trying to put my life back together. Bone tumor and disc deiease already, will progress....learning how to cope!
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- Work for a year after the injury, then helped less and less intell not at all. Was nice, instant fix, but didn't last long.
- Darvon Somewhat Helpful
- Helped about as much as rx-strenght ibuprofen
- Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
- Helped me sleep and get comfertable to fall asleep, but didn't last till morning so didn't help the stiff or pain there.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Addicted to this one! It's just nice
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- Worked 1st time around, now I can't take it at all and keep it down!
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- Helped some on my "good" days, didn't touch it at all on "normal/bad" days
- Naproxen Not Working
- Crap....not any better the advil!
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Very helpful, yes it's tough, but in the med.-long run it's been great. Helped with stress also because I doctor I go to is very good about pointing out whats better, whats worse (and why!) and where he will get me to.
- Relaxation Working / Worked
- Can't stand for 10 min so I can't work.....been good so I can really work on PT and fixing what I can for now
- Stretching Working / Worked
