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 on a cocktail of Depakote, Buspar, Risperdal, and Cogentin. Since I was discharged from the psych ward a week ago I have experienced probably one of the best weeks of my life. I seem to be much calmer, relaxed, not worried about things nearly so much, and its only getting better! Its been 2 weeks now since I have had an episode and I am excitedly watching time go by as I continue to NOT have an episode! I normally would have been out of my mind with anxiety today and totally overwhelmed, but instead I was very relaxed today and did everything I needed to without much fuss!
Over all, I am very very happy ^_^ I talked a lot about my day today in my journal - talking mostly about how I am reacting to things today is soo different than before I was on this cocktail.
Yay!

It's great to have a report from someone who is having success with their medication balance. Congratulations.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
