    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed in 1993. Had symptoms all my life. Currently taking Lithium, Zoloft, Restoril, propranolol & Ativan. TAKE YOUR MEDS!!!

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      I couldn't concentrate on anything or focus all the energy while taking this.
      Ativan Working / Worked
      Taking this at least once a day now.
      Lamictal Not Working
      Probably didn't give it a chance to work before I quit.
      Lithium Too Soon to Tell
      Physical Exercise Considering
      Would like to walk the dog but I'm scared of possible human interaction. Could someone please put on a yoga dvd and make me do it?
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Usually more like an attempt at rational thinking.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Tried 3 sessions but couldn't get past the fact that talking about my illogical emotions won't make them stop or go away. More pills, please.
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      Seemed to work for a while.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      So very hard to get up in the morning if I take it but it's the only thing that makes me sleep all night.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Didn't seem to help with rage.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      Worked but gained major weight.
    • Close Anxiety
