    About Me

    I sell appliances for a living and I really like it. I love reading and knitting in my spare time. Looking for other bipolars who work in order to share coping strategies, etc.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was dx'd with Bipolar II last year at age 50 after a severe lack of sleep, mania, and a bad reaction to Ambien CR (drove in my sleep!) I am finally stabilized now but look to these boards to see what meds other beepers are taking, how they handle their mania, their jobs, family, etc.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      I am now on 10mg
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      200 mg works great for me
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I take 50 to 75 mg to sleep. It works great!
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I was having way too much anxiety and this really helps.
