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 am entering my 6th week of medication... I'm taking Lamictal and earlier this week I started to feel like maybe my meds were working.
I am taking these meds in addition to extensive therapy, journaling every day, and reading up on my condition to better understand myself.
Can anyone who has made any progress with their disorders explain what they were feeling when things started to really kick in?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It was partly the docs fault for not treating me aggressively and partly my fault for being in denial. The right meds did more good than any of us!
I feel more motivated in the direction I've always wanted to go but never seemed to have the ability for some reason or another...
I can only describe my clarity as what seems to be the absense of "white noise" that always seemed to be in my head... It's like listening to a fan blowing at night... You don't notice its presence until it's turned off.
