    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have bipolar I disorder and PTSD. I see not only a psychiatrist but also a therapist. I am unable to work at this time due to the illness, but maybe someday i can again. Just recently got out of the psych. hospital after a 5 and a half day stay. I keep track of my moods daily, along with sleep hours, agitation, anxiety, meds taken, journal and other such things at a free online site. my therapist connects to the site, and i give charts to my dr. this has really helped in my treatment.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      i take 30mg of it every morning,it works good for me.
      Ativan Working / Worked
      it really helps with my anxiety,especially with ptsd
      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      i had group therapy while in the psych. hospital
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      up to 200mg of it daily. working so far
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      my therapist and i meet weekly for an hour. we also are connected via a website in which she reads my mood journal and tracks my mood levels.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      used for sleep. not on it any longer.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      it helps somewhat with mood stabilization but also with weight loss, or controlling weight gain from other meds
