Hi all! Hope you are all not doing too badly and that you are all safe! /community/emoticons/smile.gif A trivial question but a one I wanted to ask you all. I've started a blog and I know that there...
Hi knit! So sorry to hear you're having a bad time! My thoughts are with you! Can you ring someone rather than going to cry alone? Maybe you should make another appt to see your pdoc? It can only...

I find this all so confusing! Maybe I have mixed cycling then? Rapid thoughts with depression? Im sure it wasnt this way before. It was one or the other. I know that in the past I've just highs too...

My 'release' from the 4 week depression phase hasn't seemed to induce mania in me. It was just like a euphoric release that hit me like a dose of morphine and alleviated the worst ofthe depression. I...

Thanks Serafena! I read that the also use Tramadol to treat Bipolar although they don't prescribe it specifically for it as its main use. As for Thyroxine, someone can have BP and a thyroid problem...
