Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed bi-polar 2 just over 4 years ago and apart from once a year I am very well...stable. I love to help others understand themselves and their illness better.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- was on this in high doses when I lived in Canada...only worked for 6 weeks at a time. On prozac now in low doses and that helps
- Lithium Working / Worked
- a continuous working tablet and very little side effects apart from being thirsty
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- stopped this when I wanted to lose weight
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- helps me sleep at night as well as not letting me go over the top. Leaves me feeling more tired though that does wear off.
- Tegretol Working / Worked
- works in stablizing me in conjunction with lithium
- Topamax Not Working
- flipped me out
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- didn't work well at all nor did it help me quit smoking
Close Sleep Apnea
my psychiatrist sent me for a sleep test because I was sleeping all the time. I use a cpap machine though it hasn't been checked in 4 years...looking to get that done now
Treatments
- CPAP Working / Worked
- took over a year to get used to it now I can't sleep without it.
Open Anxiety
I suffer terribly from anxiety when I am in a depressive mood of bipolar. I start shaking for no apparent reason and cry in crowds
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- just learned some relaxation breathing and it works when I remember it
- Valium Working / Worked
- take this on a as needed basis and it works to calm me
Open Obesity
I was a healthy 200lbs before I had my breakdown and couldn't work anymore. I got up to 305lbs and have managed to lose almost 40 but it is so f***ing hard to lose more
Treatments
- Alli Working / Worked
- was good but I couldn't take it when my mood dipped when I needed it most
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- can't do it at a gym but love badminton
- Swimming Working / Worked
- can't be in crowds
