| Bipolar Disorder |
| Bi-Polar my whole life, "diagnosed" in November of 2006 I have tried multiple medications and after a year I think we may have found a "leveling off", at least I hope? ok we're lessening the Zoloft and things are looking up...so far! | |
| Treatments | |
| Abilify (Not Working) No luck! | |
| Depakote (Somewhat Helpful) seemed to work for a little while, but not for too long. | |
| Lamictal (Not Working) One of the first ones I tried. No luck! | |
| Lithium (Not Working) The most horrible experience I have ever had on any medication. | |
| Meditation (Working / Worked) This helps when things start to go too fast and I need to slow down. I think this may be one of the best things I can do? I have tried so many medications over the last year and a half that I cannot even remember which ones I have or havent tried. | |
| Seroquel (Somewhat Helpful) Slept way too much, seemed to work a bit though? | |
| Tegretol (Working / Worked) So far, so Good! Still working.... | |
| Wellbutrin (Not Working) Don't really remember too much about this one? | |
| Zoloft (Working / Worked) This seems to be working but As I said above, we lessened the dosage and things are looking up, literally!! yahoo, C'mon girls....lol | |
| Talking with other BPs (Working / Worked) This helps so much! And I thank everyone here that I chat with! | |

| Breakups & Divorce |
| Currently going thru Divorce. One of the main reasons for the divorce was my Bi-Polar. I was in a depressive state for almost a year and I just couldn't shake it. Ironically, after we seperated I went into the hospital, and I am finally feeling better. And now she wants the Divorce. She was verbally abusive and very manipulative. It is a good thing to be out of it! | |
| Treatments | |
| Pets (Working / Worked) I took my best friend with me when I elft. He has been very helpful! | |
| Psychotherapy (Working / Worked) I am in therapy for Bi-Polar. We talk a little about the Divorce, but not much. | |
| Time (Working / Worked) Ideally the healer of all wounds! | |

| Back Pain |
| I have herniated disc's in my lower back. They have been there for too long, and I haven't tried surgery yet? I have been taking pain killers for almost 3 years, and I cannot wait until I can stop. | |
| Treatments | |
| Heat (Working / Worked) Works at times, basically just eases some pain. | |
| Morphine (Working / Worked) I take Kadian (up to 240mg's per day) for long term and regular Morphine (up to 90-120 mgs per day) for short term pain. If you take any of these you already know the side effects. | |
| Physical Therapy (Not Working) Very little improvement. | |
| Stretching (Somewhat Helpful) It feels good, but does nothing for the Disc's. | |
| TENS (Working / Worked) This helps a little, but it kind of helps the blood flow, so it can help some? | |
