hey mogli, yeah, rapid cycler here. It's been changing several times in the same day; the same mood will last no more than 3 or 4 days. It's been frustrating doing the mood chart because so far i...
thank you both!...
hey guys, I'm new to the whole mood chart thing. My doc's always running late so he rushed me out of there last time & i didn't get a chance to ask him. If you have a day where you would say there...
spittinpcebby, I heard about the possibility of developing the rash. How scary though that your heart rate slowed & had to go to the hospital. Guess i'm a big weenie but i only did a week on the...
hey Sarafena, Sorry about that. I do appreciate you not deleting it. You're NOT grouchy, you could have called me names or something, hahaha. -Mem...
Thank you Sukay! So far, so good.......
Why on earth do they have to make these meds so hard to pronounce, i mean really, were all the short words taken already? My doc gave me a new prescription today b/c i was having trouble with the...
Ohh, i often find myself rambling on about everything, nothing. haha. Yeah, going to the doc this afternoon to get different meds. He mentioned trying depakote if the lamictal didn't work out for me,...

wow. Joxster wish that were me! I'm just starting out so i'm still on the 25mg dosage. I've had trouble staying upright let alone driving. I was getting sick to my stomach several times a day also. I...
Simon, i also do a lot more writing when i'm on the more depressive side. It does feel like i'm able to express more easily. My ramblings in my journal probably sound pretty pathetic to the average...
it feels GREAT to finally find people who understand & know exactly what i mean when i talk about an episode or something....
THANKS so much! VERY helpful insight indeed. I was having a feeling of, "well this is just hopeless" when really i need to just keep moving forward. No i hadn't really tried anything except the...
right now lamictal is the only thing i am on. I see that many people seem to take a combination of meds...
When it comes to my mood swings, i have about 3-5 days of depression, 3 days or so of manic behavior, and maybe a day of normalcy in between those episodes. My doc just put me on Lamictal but i don't...
I just recently started getting treatment for Bipolar Disorder. I started Lamictal about 4 days ago & i've been just incredibly dizzy. My big question is, does the dizziness eventually go away? I am...
