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 take Lexapro and Seroquel for my BPD and occasionaly Valium to sleep. I am taking my second round of an antibiotic and because of a possible Serotonin Syndrome interaction I can't take my Lexapro for 14 days this time (I'm 12 days into this round). 4 weeks before this I was on the same med for 10 days and couldn't take my Lexapro then either. I have been hearing voices and crying uncontrollably. My mind gets stuck on these horrible thoughts and I can't get them out. I am maintaining at work but losing it whenever I am not there. What else can I try to get this to stop? I have a community acquired MRSA infection and have been on one antibiotic or another for over 2 months now and I am so TIRED. Tired of the antibiotics, tired of the voices and tired of being tired. I am sleeping a ton and am out of patience and I just need something to give. Thanks for listening...
I would get off serequel. I was a zombie zombie and fat and tired and lethargic on that. Get a new doc. Start over with the minimal and are you using your body? do you get down on floor and strech realax? breath ever?
I smoke pot. It helps back pain and my nerves too. I recommmend niacin as a supplement for depression too. As natural as possible is my intention.
I send you many new options and possibly the opportunity to start from scratch. Sometimes what they give to fix us actually makes things worse. I know you will figure this out. You are not alone here.
