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 WENT TO THE DOC A FEW YEARS AGO AND I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLER.(I FORGOT WHAT TYPE) I TOOK THE DIFFERENT DRUGS FOR A YEAR OR SO, AND I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THEY MADE ME FEEL, SO I CHUCKED THE DRUGS AND DEPENDED ON MY FAITH. I'M COMPLETELY NORMAL NOW, BUT SOMETIMES I AM A LITTLE ON THE MANIC SIDE, SO I JUST WONDERED IF THERE WAS A CATEGORY FOR OCCASIONAL MANIA WITHOUT THE DEPRESSION?
HERE'S TO THE UNIPOLER GROUP.
# OF MEMBERS: JUST ME.
on the other hand...it's probably hard to convince someone who doesn't think they have any symptoms to continue taking drugs for no apparent reason...
if it were me, i would find a pdoc and work on having a crisis management plan...like having some heavy meds that aren't expired around in a safe place 'just in case'...
anyway, don't take this advice as 'real' b/c i'm just a reg'lr person and not a pdoc!!
And if you do, or if it intereferes with life in general, you should talk to someone more qualified than us.....
