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.
My friend has been on different meds for years. He loves his lithium and a couple of other meds but recently, the doctor added another one that he adores! It's concerta. He said it's the first time he's felt "awake" and not had that druggy feeling. He said it's kinda like speed but w/o the side effects.
Anyone know anything about it? I have trouble keeping my eyes open sometimes and it sounds like a good med.

I believe concerta is an adhd med, my grandson took it and it threw him into rages, pdoc said he is not stable enough to take adhd meds yet, thats all I know about it

Rages? Hmmmmm..that's not good. But I've heard of kids raging on zoloft, prozac, paxil, effexor and zombied on ritalin. So maybe it's not a good one for kids. I'm going to see if I can try it because I HATE this tired, sleepy feeling.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
