      (((XXX))) I just read the threads and let me tell you girl...I'm so glad you are feeling alittle better. Hang in there. One thing I've found out is that while our moods change alot (to the extreems) it can get better if we just keep hoping & praying...it will get better. So keep hanging in there. I hope I said that right. =)

      Im Bipolar what else is there to say lol

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      Very helpful for mood swings, no weight gain, destroyed my libido so i went off it and it took 3-4 months to get off it because it kept making me dizzy and flu like symptoms whenever I tried to stay away from it.
      Lithium Somewhat Helpful
      Feel Depressed on this drug, and sorta zombie like. Have trouble looking people in the eye, unmotivated.But apparently im not as moody anymore.
      Remeron Not Working
      Or avanza/Mirtazapine, Very good for sleep, thats it, caused massive weight gain and mood swings. Easy to get off it though thank god because it sux.
      Valium Somewhat Helpful
      Take 1 valium every morning, it works ok, not as good as xanax, the more i take doesn't feel any different so i just take one every morning.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Great drug ! shame i can't be on it anymore no doctor will prescribe it to me anymore as its too addictive :(( Calms anxiety quickly, great !
