    • Hug

      From Bluefly Friday

      Why thank you, it's actually one I have hanging in my closet : ) Glad to hear your new med is working and you are doing well. We'll have to talk soon, so much going on here. I'm seeing my tdoc here in a bit. It's going to be a hard session, need to go over some major concerns with my daughter. Things are very hard right now and pretty sad to say the least. I've also talked to Jenn's husband several times and he and the girls are doing well.

    • High Five

      From jamieson Friday

      as long as you are back in the saddle and enjoying yourself that makes all the difference in the world. kidlets fever broke yesterday so she is no longer contagious so tonight we will probably go to the barn so she can visit with her horse. other than urpy how are you feeling? i really am glad you have ridden so much, maybe that means things are on the up swing.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Severe BP 1, practically untreatable. In 8 years we have found only Effexor and Seroquel effective. I am learning how to be a real person now in therapy.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      We are constantly fiddling with my dosage - 37.5-300 mg depending on if I'm manic, depressed, or how bad my OCD is.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      It's both brain glue and has a marvelous side effect of knocking you the hell out at night. I take between 800-1400 mg depending on time of year and stress level, a heavy duty dose at night and a very small dose during the day.
    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      When I'm not busy binge-n-starving, I'm just plain old starving; I have been dx'd with anorexia as recently as October 2008.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I don't always tell her everything.
      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      Experimental tx for bulemia... sometimes it seems to be helping binges.
    • Open Step Families

      BF and I not married yet but he has 3 children (8, 11, 15). I have no children; would like to learn how best to support him and be there for them.
