- Risperdal Not Working
- way too sedating
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- Still take for mood stabilizer...not really strong enough, but afraid to increase dose due to side effects and sedative factor
- Topamax Somewhat Helpful
- lightened the # of migraines, but was ineffective as a mood stabilizer for me
- Trileptal Not Working
- was given this to induce sleep during mania. May as well have eaten a sweet tart!

Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)I have Bipolar d/o, borderline personality d/o, schizoaffective d/o and a whole host of other probs! I am looking for someone who might understand??! Need all the frenz i can get...
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I need someone to talk back!!! all the therapists i have seen take a lot of notes and nod their head. ENOUGH ALREADY! say something back!!!
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I have been emotionally,sexually, and physically abused for as long as I can remember. I have several psych disorders as a result and a very difficult time trusting people and making friends. I am looking for some advice and maybe some frenz?! here. I have no support in the real world- hoping things are different in virtual land :-}
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Not Working
- I get nothing from telling my history only to have someone write notes and nod. I NEED FEEDBACK!
- Forgiveness Not Working
- I can't hold a grudge and while some would say that this is a good thing, it's not for me. I wish I could cut the people who have hurt me out of my life.
- Leave Considering
- I would love to just be alone sometimes...you know, deal with just me.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- I identify with music on a very deep level. I can feel the pain and emotion from certain artists. This is most helpful when I'm angry.
Open Stress Management
I am sooooooo fight or flight!! I am on SSI and have been for 4 yrs due to all my psycho crap. I have 0 tolerance for stress. Hoping that I can find support and maybe some advice!
Treatments
- Anger Management Not Working
- I have taken major sedatives, mood stabilizers, SSRI's, you name it. They all knock me out, but when I wake up, I'm just as pissed as when i went to sleep.
- Patience Not Working
- Children dont bother me at all, but I have no patience with adults.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I try to take all of my frustrations out on the treadmill and then roast in the sauna forever. After that, I shock my senses with an ice cold shower.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- STill take 900mg per day but other than making me sleep a lot, I dont see much of a benefit.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Among other things, i have severe OCD. I'm talking "sleeping with the enemy" OCD. All cans in cabinet facing one direction, categorized by fruit, vegetable, soup, etc. Won't allow anything on my plate to touch- if my food mixes, i ain't eating it! Cant walk past a picture in my home that isnt exactly positioned as i think it should without fixing it..UGH!!! Looking for some folks who understand and who may have some advice. I am driving myself crazy (ier)!
Treatments
- Paxil Somewhat Helpful
- slows down my thoughts a little, but kills my sex drive-
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- does nothing but knock me out, but I guess u cant obsess if u are asleep!
- Zoloft Not Working
- took maximum dose for @ 6months. Thought it was the miracle pill- for once i could focus and not tape my papers to my desk at work...but- i am bipolar and a rapid cycling one at that- so i soon built up an immunity. :-(
