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.
LOL (whatever THat means, lol)
OK for a bipolar, OCD, addict alcoholic that is.
also, i used to NEVER make spelling mistakes (literally) and now i misspell things more and more.
i'm sure it's the meds.
i figure it's a small price to pay for my sanity.
And I can't remember simple words sometimes. My mind just goes blank.
Make it stop!
Looking at the meds that you are on, only Lamictal is normally associated with memory mess-ups. Pretty much all anti-convulsants mess with memory and cognition (Lamictal, Topamax, Trileptal, Keppra, Neurontin, etc.).
As far as speech getting screwed up, I noticed that my speech got slurry when my neuro had me on a heavy duty benzo combined with ACs. Perhaps Zyprexa could have the same effect?
