Many bipolar meds are used for seizures. Without revealing anything I tell most people that "I take antiseizure meds" and let them assume I have seizures which is mostly acceptable to society. No lie after all the side effect of seizure meds is almost always seizures if you read the label.

I even have a medical service K-9 for my bipolar and she is registered as a seizure alert animal. It says it right on her ID card

Oh and for family/close friends I have a Mood Disorder or Chemical imbalance. =)

That's so great that you're going on a vacation!

If you feel the need to explain to someone, just tell them it's a medical condition and leave it at that. If they want to pry, just politely tell them you don't like to discuss it.

My aunt shakes pretty badly all over. Hers was caused by scarlet fever. Some people stare, but most judge her for her personality. Try not to worry about it. The less worried you are, the less people will care.

Hope that helps!

Hugz & have fun!

I agree with nobody, seizures - a good plan.

A vacation sounds wonderful! Why would you have to explain your meds? You don't have to tell anyone what your condition is. I hope you have a wonderful time.

i really good

thanks to all for your great ideas!

I hope you have a great vacation..

I would pack your meds in the luggage you check in and not carry it in your hand luggage... They probably won't see it and you won't be asked any questions..

I agree with what the others have said sweetie.... Have a blast!!...xo

For anyone not used to flying, always keep your meds in the original prescription bottles --don't put them into your reminder/dose cases ahead of time. Security can make a huge deal out of meds.
Medical issues that cause shaking : MS, Parkinson's even quitting smoking.
If you haven't left yet & are reading this, Have a great time!!!!
