    About Me

    Disabled USAF Vet, Bipolar II, Anxiety (GAD), PTSD, Depression, Chronic Pain & Insomnia. I'm 47, happily married and have three grown children (no grandchildren). I was raised in an abusive family full of drugs, alcohol and rock-n-rolls in the 60's. Very far out, man! As a result I've lived a very unstable lifestyle most of my adult life, never able to tolerate any one job for long, moving around a lot, multiple marriages and many broken relationships. It was until last year when I was correctly diagnosed with BPII disorder that I was put on the right medications to make me feel halfway normal and happy. I have many stories to tell. If you're interested in talking, just let me know. I'm open for sharing and supporting others. Have a great day!

    Interests

    Gardening, estate shopping, eating, spending a lot of time on the internet

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Changed from Seroquel (side effects) to Lamictal last year. It is so much better as far as moods!!
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Helps a lot with anxiety! Don't take away my Xanax!!
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Working well for depression, anger and no more chronic crying.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Excellent for sleep!! Finally. Ambien & Rozerem didn't work. This is the ONLY med that keeps me asleep *almost* all night.

      Diagnosed with tinnitus a year ago, and it has gotten worse. It gets out of control sometimes and sounds like loud crickets. I've also noticed a hearing loss.
