if true, it would be worth it's weight in gold. however, i just can't believe it since last i knew they didn't even know what caused bipolar for sure. but, i would try it if i could afford it. anything to be rid of this illness.

Thank God, nick!!!! It's a miracle!!!!! (I shall have to go over to CNN.com and look it up!!!!)

Snicker!!!! I'm a bit skeptical, but it surely WILL be a miracle, if true!!!!
Usually, you hear about treatment promises like that a few years before they hit the market, if they ever do.

That's it!!! I'm heading over to CNN right now!!!!

Gee!!! What will happen to our board here on DS, if we're all cured!!!!!?

(((((Hugs)))))

Carla

I will pay ANYTHING to make this go away. I just hope it';s not a hoax.

Rats!!!! I couldn't find anything over on CNN!!!! (Which doesn't mean it's not there. If anyone finds it, would you please put the link up here?!)

Hahahahaha!!!!! But when I Googled "bipolar"+"cure"+"wyeth", nicky, the first thing that popped up was the post that you just made!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!

Sounds intriguing... I look forward to hearing more about it.. we have to stay on the board guys even if we're cured.. xo..smile

Sounds good to me Ev... wouldn't that be something.. we could go out and get drunk smile..x

I don't think it is true. There would have to be a report first saying that they found the cause of BP first. Without that important information you are not supposed to claim that you have a cure. When it comes to the medical field and medicine they have to do a lot of research. It takes years and in that time reports are presented to the medical and pharmacological communities. As well as magazines that are available to the public. I am not trying to burst anyones bubble. I just that think that we should look at the facts first. The fact is the cause is unknown. Although I won't lie if it is real and after a few years of public use there are no long term side effects I might try it.

I go to a bp research clinic. I saw my pdoc last week and she didn't so much as mention this. I wouldn't be eligible to take it anyway since I'm not on birth control and I'm trying to get pregnant. There are lots of things that I cannot take.

I think that this would be amazing news if it were true. I will hold out hope that it will happen sometime during our lives.

Be careful what you wish for.

Wouldn't it be ironic if we were all cured and then found out that we didn't LIKE being normal!!!!? LOLOL!!!!!

Thanks for the idea, anyway, nicpc!!

My initial thought was, "HalleLujah!! I'm HEALED!!!" *dances*

Then it was like, I'm gonna run out and do Aaalllll those things I've ever wanted, Yeesssss!!!! I'm gonna.....

well, no, wait. I didn't really want to Do that. ...No, I don't really want to be with Those people, either.....nope, nope.....No, I'd rather not do That....

Gee, I guess I'm Okay!! I'll just say Bipolar....where it's Safe.

I have to admit that even if it were true I am not sure I would go for it. Yes I like having my moods more balanced, but there are other aspects of the mind I would have trouble living without. In my own experience, losing those things to an anti-psychotic was worse.

So yes you can have the emotional side of bipolar, but let me keep the so-called delusional side.

I would want the cure. It's not fair to have kids and think every other day that you want to kill yourself or them one day or worse, do it. Because of this I won't be having kids. I would love to be able to have a family but BP will never let me do it. I would give it all up to have a "cure."

I hope the OP isn't trolling!

here is a article that is from cnn that is about a possible cure http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/bipolar-support-forums/general-support/1369733-scinentists-announce-cure-for-bipol

lol i just realized it was a joke ooops

Spam and vodka sound good to me.. Lets have a party... WHOOHOO!!!
