Treatments

Group Therapy Working / Worked

I joined group therapy twice and truly recommend people to join them if they want to learn a thing or two... and have company!

Haldol Not Working

I had the most frightening allergic reaction to this. Muscles burning,numb, even unconcious for a day. But it was years ago and only my experience.

Lamictal Working / Worked

Added to lithium after a second manic episode 10 years ago. No more episodes after that. So, on that end, it works.

Lithium Working / Worked

For 10 years, along with Lamictal. No more manic episodes. Doesn't work that well with depression, though. I mean, it does, but I guess I've become a happier person by action and merit that through medication.
