Hi, I see those ads on TV for Abilify, too, but I'm doing ok with what my Dr. has prescribed for me, with a little tweaking here and there. I guess as long as my meds are working, I don't want to rock the boat.
My dad picked up on my "illness" when I was in my mid-teens, but the manic-depressive illness did not have well established parameters for deterrmining if one actually had this illness. I was nearly 38 yrs old when I was finally diagnosed. By then I had managed to alienate a lot of friends and even close family members. Nobody understood--not even me--why I would behave the way I did. I was always relieved to have what I call an "attack of normalcy." Then it was right back on that $#@! rollercoaster of manic highs and depressive lows. My lows were severe enough that I had to be hospitalized. My manic highs got me into financial some trouble, but hubby keeps a close eye on my spending. Enuff said, right? Anyway, that's me in a nutshell (no pun intended) ;-) I live in New Port Richey w/hubby, pooch & kitty cat. It wil be three years the end of October when we made the move down to this area. Rented in Palm Harbor for a year while we shopped for a house. If we had to spend another winter up north I don't think I would have made it to spring. I hope to hear back from you.
Good for you - take the "disease" by the horns & knock it down - we are all rooting for you
