Hi, New Here

Hi. My name is Alyssia. I'm 29 years old. I was diagnosed with biolar disorder when I was 18. I've been through the ropes with medication and now take Vraylar, Haldol, Prozac, and Neurontin. I just started the Prozac today. Lately, I've been feeling very depressed, tired. I've also felt nauseus, had diarhhea, and had severe headaches. I went to the ER last night because I felt so terrible. They didn't do anything except pump IV fluids and gave me something for the nausea. I saw my PCP today and she's testing everything: vitamin levels, thyroid, blood count, etc. I should know results either tomorrow or Monday. I am in therapy and I have a wonderful support network. I'm hoping to make some friends on here who I can support and receive support from. Thank you for listening!

Hi. It can take awhile to find the best meds, that's for sure. I've used haldol when I was in psychotic mania. It is effective for that even if it has many undesirable side-effects. I'd wonder why you were using it if you are in depression, but that's just my thinking. Keep working at it. I wish you relief.

Welcome to the group. :-) Everyone here is pretty supportive and positive to what people post. I have rarely seen a negative response to any post. I feel everyone here is pretty considerate. I am currently on a Prozac and Geodon mixture. It's ok for me. I feel that I am more "perky". I do sleep alot though still.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I was hoping to hear from my PCP yesterday, but lab results weren't back yet. Looks like it'll be Monday (at the earliest)! I hate waiting for lab work. I look forward to spending more time on this site. Seems to be very helpful!

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
