Don't know what to do anymore.
Tried Prozac... it made me anxious.
Same for Paxil.
Never really gave Wellbutrin a chance, but for the two weeks I took it, I didn't like the way it made me feel.
Does anyone know what anti-depressants are safe and effective for people with bipolar disorder?
Most bipolar medications only work for the extreme highs, not for the lows of depression.
I'm so depressed and tired, I don't even have the energy to research these meds right now.
Anyone know anything about Remeron?
I'm sinking into that dark place again, and I need a hand up and out.
Thanks!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Here's another problem I'm having... I used to be able to do two things at once, like type about one thing and entertain another thought... but now when I try to do that... you get the mistake in the first line of my post above.
As I was typing about Prozac making me manic, I was also thinking that once I get an anti-depressant, I'll move on to treating the anxiety next.
But there's something wrong with my mind or brain, and instead of just thinking it separately like I used to, that thought invaded my main thought, and I typed "anxious" instead of "manic".
What the heck is going on here?
This is not cool.
Thanks.
