About Me
I'm 21 and currently an online student... I'm dealing with the whole bipolar/depression/anxiety thing and all the symptoms that go with that. I'm working on going to a college on campus and getting a job, but it's hard with these varied symptoms and everything. I am anxious for the day that I have been stable for a year without an episode!

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Treatments
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- I'm currently upping my dosage since I added another medication and it messed up my balance. Before that it was going well.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Seems to be working well along with other medications.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionHere to work things out, relate to conversation, help, see what happens.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- On it now, I've had good luck with it.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It's essential for me.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- My mom's understanding is amazing and as far as friends I only talk to my best friend about it but she's great. Without them and the rest of my family, I don't know what I'd do!
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- It's working well with other meds..
Open Anxiety
No one can relate to anxiety unless they've experienced it. Sharing experiences can really help I think.
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- I take it at night to help me sleep.. it's worked but I had to up it... If you keep taking it you get used to it, but it really has helped me especially when I had daily panic attacks.
Open Migraine Headaches
Sharing tips is the best way to battle headaches I think... And only those who have them realize the pain and how you're done for at least the day.
Treatments
- Caffeine Working / Worked
- I have a can of Pepsi if I get a bad headache and along with Ibuprofen, it helps. Doesn't work for the bad migraines though - and I don't do it for small ones.
- Excedrin Working / Worked
- This is the only thing that will touch my headaches sometimes.
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- Didn't work for me.
