Bipolar update
I have a great psych doc now. He's the new one who has shaken things up. I am bipolar...and ADD...and narcoleptic, too. But I am making progress. As of this week I am taking 5 LESS MEDS than I was when I moved here in July of 11. That is a great thing!!!! I am coming alive again. I don't have any more tics, and I don't feel all stony inside. Doc said I was waaaayyyy over medicated. My face moves and shows expressions again. That may sound weird, but for quite a while there, it was like my feelings never reached the surface. I am connected with me...and my family and friends. It is a wonderful thing.

So needed to update progress...I have cut out 5 meds, lost a total of 30 pounds, and finished all but 4 of my classes needed for my Bachelor\'s degree. Feeling pretty good, even though I am staring 40 in the face!
this is great news.....less 5 meds.....lossing weight......all is good.....that is how it went for me.....I wish others realized what these meds do..... I think we can become numb......
