    About Me

    Diagnosed 10 years ago with BP, and at the time they treated me with Zoloft only. Went 5 years of being no medication, and due to the stress of having to move, a seperation, and increased job stresses, I was forced to request that they put me back on meds. The new Dr stated that BP has to be treated with a combination of meds not just one. So I started taking lithium, which caused alot of pain, and awkward feelings. We increased the Zoloft, and I went on a three day manic episode, now we're trying Lamictal to replace the Zoloft. Not sure what to think or feel anymore. My body and my psyche is all confused. I have days of not caring to days of caring. Either way can't seem to get anything done.

      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
      just starting taking about a week ago, so still adjusting to the medication
      Lithium Somewhat Helpful
      It seems to bring me down a bit, but the constanct body aches, and head aches, due to dehydration is getting a little old.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      They are trying out different things to replace this drug, due to the hypo state that it puts me in when they increase the dosage to the next level.
