About Me
I'm a lifelong BP, born to a BP family. Like many others I've been cursed by being born good-looking but not rich. Ah well, we take our riches as we find them!
Interests
Reading, music, politics and finding and giving support on DS.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I'm a lifelong BP1. My story is very similar to that of many others. I've made right and wrong decisions, been helped and hurt by various people and the crux of the matter is that I'm a survivor and I'm lovin' it!
Treatments
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- I feel that using fish oil has contributed to my stability by improving my mental function.
- Haldol Working / Worked
- I used Haldol years ago, mainly in hospital. It works!
- Lithium Working / Worked
- I've used lithium for 28 years. It has saved my life!
- Effexor Working / Worked
- I used effexor 10 years ago for a serious depression. It worked and it was hell to taper off, but the good it did outweighed that.
- Restoril Working / Worked
- I've used this for 10 yesrs, primarily "as needed". I first took this during a bout of mania and I also find it effective in dealing with the build up of stress.
