About Me
I'm a 34 year old twice divorced mother of two amazing young girls. Amazing that they are products of such a freak, yet seemingly unscathed by my terror. I don't know how I ended up finding this message board. I don't know what guided me here. I'm scared, but for the first time in 3 years, somewhat hopeful.
Interests
I don't really have any. I have responsibilities. I have mania, I have depression, I have addictions.... Interests? Whew, that's a tough one.

Oh MAN! What a difference dumping Trileptal and adding Lithium to the Seroquel has made. I sure hope it lasts! But for now, I'm …

I'm not feeling all that bad today.
Just felt good to say that.
That's all.

Close Bipolar Disorder
Well, I got my "papers" three years ago. But that was in rehab and I kept using, so the meds did nothing. I'm 6mos clean and back on meds. Facing the beast. Down is up and up is down for me right now. I'm thankful I found this website, that's for sure.
Treatments
- Lithium Not Working
- NO MORE LITHIUM! DOWN WITH LITHIUM! ANGER OUT OF CONTROL! OMG this stuff ROCKS!!! I have more good days than bad, and I'm hoping it will last! Woo Hoo Hoo!! I found out the Trileptal messes with your birth control, and talk about the break through yuckies! So, I'm off that and on 300/mg Lithium twice a day. I don't remember much about this, I was on all three right out of rehab, but we all know how that ended up. I hope it works better without even more weight gain... : (
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- It's better than taking nothing, but I get used to the dose so quickly. I have trouble falling asleep on 300mg, then take 100mg in the A.M., and another 100mg in the afternoon / evening. I'm a bit less homicidal, but the highs and lows are vicious.....
- Trileptal Not Working
- And, I quit this. No more to the worthless pill! Okay, I think I'm going to quit this shit! I just read that it fucking messes with your birth control. NO CHANCES!!!! UPDATE: I quit the shit!
- Depakote Too Soon to Tell
- Not sure what's going to happen next, but I had to ditch the lithium. It made my anger 100 times worse. I hope this helps. I need a grey area badly. I also need to ditch this 15 extra pounds thanks to the medicine. Stupid medicine.
