Well, if Brad Pitt is playing you, then I think I would just play myself! **** No, Bill, there's no "with" in that sentence http://www.healingwell.com/community/posticons/icon14.gif ...
Let's see.... are we going for a look-alike or a WANT to look-alike?...
I think I must be the queen of WEIRD side effects. I posted on another thread about the whole tongue/taste bud thing. You mentioned Ambien - I tried that one for about a week to help me sleep. One...
Female, 35, Omaha NE. Diagnosed with major depression in '98, bipolar in '06....
I'm also willing to share :) I think I'm the female Happy Bill, lol....
Welcome, AK93 :) I'm not sure exactly how old you are, but I will tell you this: My son, who is 7, is on low doses of Zoloft and risperidone. Bipolar does not just simply pop up when you're 18, as...
Well said, Serafena! I totally agree! People seem to use bipolar to sweep our feelings under the rug - "Oh stop being so bipolar!" No, I actually do have NORMAL and REAL feelings, and they are...
I can understand why she might be scared of the whole 'bipolar monster', especially if she's had bad experiences. But my opinion is that if she's into you, she's into you. The fact that it now has a...
My son got up in the middle of eating dinner, walked over to my side of the table, gave me a big hug and told me he loved me....
I'd like to hear your wife tell her side of the story LOL From what you've written, I'd have to say "of course you're right!!!" The first week of this prozac had me feeling NOTHING and I didn't like...
Sounds like you're on the bright side of bipolar today :) I'm finally out of my funk as well - looks like the prozac is kicking in. But the sun is shining for the first time in I don't know how long,...
Tainted, you sound like an interesting guy. I relate to just about everything you say. This is an awkward question because I don't typically going around talking about how much I love myself. I...
Stop buying them, lol. No, I'm in the same boat. Welbutrin worked as long as I was on it. It makes your cigs taste like... well, @%#$. It also made me really crabby, which made me want a cig, and...
Whoa! I'm ovbiously not a doctor, but I'm wondering why you are on so many of the same kind of medications? "I take Buspar, Lamictal, Wellbutrin, and Celexa". I've never been on Buspar, so I can't...
So I finally got to the point where my meds (zoloft and lamictal) weren't doing the trick. Maxed out the dosages of both. I've been on the zoloft for about 7 years, so decided to switch that one out....
Oh happy bill... I literally feel your pain (that word doesn't really do the feeling justice, does it?). My fear, the one that keeps me up at night and is a sure-fire way to plummet into depression...
Is there a way to subscribe to new posts? I know I can manually subscribe, but I want to be notified of ALL new posts. Call me OCD, lol. I don't have a computer at home, so I have to do it all from...
happy bill - I just wanted you to know that you crack me up. Your honesty and TMI (LOL) are awesome....
Oh dear.......
Wow, you described the exact thing that happened to me when I was on both of those drugs. Effexor is extremely difficult to get off of. I've never quite been able to explain what happens when you...
Hi there, I was started on the lowest dose of Lamictal and didn't notice any particulary bothersome side effects. However, when it was increased to the target dose of 150, I had a bit of a very WEIRD...
Do you have a custody order in place (even a temporary one)? If not, I suggest getting one ASAP. They can usually get you in pretty quickly for a temporary order. Unfortunately I've been where you...
I was diagnosed as MDD in 1998, but they didn't figure out it was Bipolar until 2006! Even with a strong family history of bipolar, it still took 8 years....
And how might I do that without posting it to the world?...
Mildly bipolar... I know where you're coming from. Since I graduated from college in 1998, after 18 yrs of school, I've had 7 jobs. I average about 2 yrs per job before I move on to something else...
Did you listen to it? It's about being yourself and no matter how hard ppl try to figure you out, they never will. And that's ok....
LMAO you guys crack me up. Yes I'm sure you can feel her husband's pain! Oh to be in such pain! Mildlybipolar, I'd say any week without those things you mentioned is a good week indeed! Well... You...
Thanks, and YES you can call me Carrie :)...
Speaking as a daughter of a bipolar father, I can sympathize with you to a certain degree. Growing up, my father was misdiagnosed with Schizophrenia. A few years ago, after losing his job of 20+...
I've heard it does, but I've never had the discipline to actually follow any sort of plan, lol. Food is my friend - I don't discriminate! :)...
Well now what have I done?!? I think the people who share this aspect of BPD appreciate the opportunity to talk about it, at least I do. We're all mature enough to talk about it without going into...
Are we supposed to do a 'quick reply' or 'reply post'? Anyway....Well now *I'M* jealous! Of the ani difranco thing, not all the other stuff LOL. Seriously though, I think the whole 'sexual' side of...
Well, I'm a female! LOL Sorry, Bill, I don't even know you! 32 flavors is actually a song - my personal anthem lol - by Ani Di Franco....
Well, nice to meet you Bill and we should definitely never meet in person because I am also a sexual screw-up (no pun intended) LOL...
20 years. He also believes his mother was bipolar, although there really were no such diagnoses back then. I have a 7 yo son who I believe is bipolar as well, although the pdoc is calling it...
