Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I went to see my pdoc on Wednesday and he told me that it looks like I will be on lithium long term. And I had a blood test and it shows that my body processes the lithium quick so i have to be at higher doses to be in a theraputic range.
Because my therapist was all over the place with my diagnoises I am being tested to make sure it is bipolar that I have. I am also having other test done because of other behaviors form my childhood until now. It should be interesting and it would be nice to know for sure.

Lithium is cheap, and the only side effect I had was thirst, and all the water I drink, has got to be one of my healthier habits!!!
I have accepted that life time meds will keep me alive, and a better quality of life. Lithium is a good drug if it works for you... it think its a good update!!!!
