    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I've always had problems. It started when I was about 8 and got much worse in puberty, about 12. high school and college were a real challenge. Thankfully I met my husband and he got me help. I was diagnosed as bipolar then, about 12 years ago. I was put on meds. infact I've tried so many meds. Risperdal was the first that worked and I loved it, but I had a serious side effect to it. So I got on seroquel and well now I'm off that. Right now I'm fling by the seat of my pants.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      slept all day
      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
      Lithium Working / Worked
      made me shake
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      It worked so good. I didn't know life could be so good. I did however have a bad side effect from it. My prolactin level went sky high.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      loved it but had to get off of it
      Tegretol Not Working
      made me so sick
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      great but made me tired
