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.
After years of being misdiagnosed, they finally got it right last January. All year I have been trying different medication and a couple of months ago I decided to ditch all of it (biggest mistake I could've possibly make) anyway. I have been truly bad, in a depression that has lasted over 8 months... I'm desperate for medication, jumping from doctor to doctor.
All I wanted to ask is what medication do you take?

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...

The other problem here is you can't choose your meds based on what other BiPolar's take, we're all different, depending on the type of BiPolar we have, what are symptoms are, how severe they are, how long we've been BiPolar, etc. We all react differently to medications.
The only way to get on a proper cocktail is to see a Pdoc (Psychiatrist) and work with him based on what your symptoms are. Psych meds take time to work and reach a therapeutic level, it takes time to work through the side effects, so it's not a quick process. All you can do it start it and get the process going, the sooner you do, the sooner things get under control.
Take care,

Do you have a psychiatrist???.... I would try and find a psych that you like and stick with him/her..... They are experts in psychiatric medication.... That's the crux of what they do
I know that it's hard to be patient.... It took me about 3 years to find the right med regime …. Along with that other coping skills
Try and work with it ara not against it..... We have it there's no winning in fighting against it
However we have a treatable disorder and we can achieve stability
I am on Tegretol and Seroquel along with extra help for sleep...… Big hug....
This is a good place to come....xo
