      From SearchingforSolace July 16

      I called the nine line today but my Da got home and I don't talk on the phone when ANYONE is in the house at all, especially not a crisis line. So i'm miffed about that. On top of everything i've converted the feeling of being watched into being on stage so now i'm acting very dramatic as if I lived life on stage, and i'm not used to seeing me like this. Since i'm acting I have no clue how I really feel inside i'm just watching myself kinda curiously.

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      Helped my depressions somewhat.
      Depakote Not Working
      It didn't work. I became manic.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      It has helped my depressions better than any anti-depressant.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      It controlled my mood swings but did nothing for my delusional thinking.
      Risperdal Not Working
      Side effects were horrible. Couldn't stop pacing around the room.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      It controls my mania fairly well, but also helps with delusional thoughts.
      Tegretol Not Working
      Tried it to come off Lithium. It didn't work. I became Manic.
      Topamax Not Working
      Worthless drug.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Helped my depression a little bit.
      Zyprexa Not Working
      Horrible side effects. Made me feel dizzy and "crazy."
