Hi all,
Hope this post finds everyone happy and well!
The Mayo Clinic.com housecall has an outstanding article on bipolar illness. I recommend reading it. Great overview, worth reading even though most of you are quite knowledgeable.
Update: Took that second Prozac yesterday, that's 40 mg. in one day, a load for me! It did knock out that depression. But I am on thin ice here, as Prozac sooner or later, sends me into overdrive.
Maybe the specialist will get me on some kind of mood stabilizing meds before that happens this time. I absolutely cannot tolerate the degree of low!
Here's hoping! Here's wishing you all a really good day in spite of the illness!
Take care, love to all

I hope you have a good day as well Eve! I tried Prozac years ago and it made me worse. I had very escalated fears and anxieties, perhaps my dosage was too high. Best of luck to you dear friend!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
