I have never taken Lamatical, however, vivid dreams are very much a part of life for me. I find the dreams are so real to me that I am haunted for days, trying to figure out what is real. In one...
I recently went off of my meds, and have been without them for two months. It hasnt been easy, and I am much more hard to understand than the average women (my poor poor husband), however, I do...
Thank you all for your support and suggestions. I would hope im not in denial, sometimes i think i am, but the true fact is that without insurance i cant get help from any doctor for this, and the...
Thank you so much for giving me this article. Im continuing my research, but so far this really seems to match up to me with some of the other health difficulties. Thank you so much, i really...
I just wanted you to know that the same thing is happening to me currently, and i totally understand. But I also know why...for me its kind of a type of mixed episode. I cycle so quickly from manic...
I have no idea about the med thing, I am very sensitive to meds, so nothing holds right for me - at least as far as doses for others. However, just a quick suggestion about getting meds without...
Hello all, I am not new here, but have been a stranger for a few months due to a lack of access to the internet after recently getting married. This sight has always been a great resource to me, so i...
Hello all - im back again, with even more questions. Oh, what would i do without HealingWell? I have some major questions for you all. Im in between a rock and a hard spot here, and im having a very...
Hi All. I know i disapeared there for quite a while. Things in my life got really busy, and I have been doing great - so I lost track of HealingWell. How sad...:(. Anyway, just a quick question for...
Do you ever feel like the sun comming up in the morning would almost be a tragedy? Today i was talking with a friend and i asked her what to do with myself. She told me that i just had to keep going...

I know a few of you have heard this - but im really really frustrated tongiht, so im going to ask all of you the burning question in my mind. Can doctors really do anything, or do they just want your...
Thank you for your quick reply and support. I do dread the holidays, when company comes and things have to get done. Its not that they are bad or i dont like the family, I just dont do well with the...
Okay, im going insane again. Argg. SOO much irratibility. I cant explain it I dont know where it comes from, and no one else is getting it. My father (the only BP I know) is the only one really...
Hello Jaded. I would just like to welcome you here. I am also a rapid cycler (is that spelled right? it doesnt look it...) although I am BP 2. Anyhow, I am also goign through a manic stage right now...
Yes, it is possible. I just (about a week and a half ago - feels like ages) went up on my Effexor (doubled the dose). I just dont know when to call the pdoc and talk to him again - it seems as though...
Okay, so i havent posted in a while - but here i go again. Im really getting very very confused. I have never been this bad before - even in the fall. I always get depressed, adn i always cycle...

Thanks. No, i am doing a bit better today. I had some time to go out and do some things alone, and it relaly was good to get out, but be able to think also. I saw my pdoc, and he has raised my doses...
Hey Putter, Thanks for your response. It helps. I just need ot know that im not the only insane one. Im soo out of whack, and im just trying to hang on. I had a short breather yesterday, I had a lot...

Well, i guess im p the effexor. I cant do Welbutrin for how sick it makes me, but maybe Lamatical? will help me. Ive heard its good. rock...
Well, Im on Effexor and Depakote. Thats all right now. My pdoc is afraid of putting me on too many meds too fast because my body has very adverse reactions and little tolerance. he was very worried...
Well, i went to work in spite of it all. I figured that i work with a bunch of couselors, so it couldnt be that bad if anythign happened. And Ive had panic attacks pretty much everywhere. School,...

Ohhh...it doesnt sound fun. I know how that goes. This morning i woke up with a very tight chest, and chest pains. THis isnt foreign to me, its something that happens whenever my heart takes the...
I can only hope to spare myself some grief. I tend to take out my suitcase of logic on many occasion, just to push away my irrationals. If that doesnt work, I get one of my rough friends to talk me...
10 hours. With my current work schedule, it was quit or find a new med. I may just have to live with less sleep, and about[b] once a week i will finally sleep good for about 7 hours, and i feel good...
Well, Ive been okay. Today was a hard day. I was almost rear-ended, but changed lanes right before that. When the kid in the car in front of us had a seizure i was sure i was going to have a panic...
You have those vivid dreams too? Wow, I just thought that i was insane. You described exactly what mine are. So vivid, real, and scary, you cant distringuish them from reality when you wake up, and...

psychnurse : First off thanks for telling me about the leaden pararalysis. Ive never heard of it, but thats sure what it felt like, and it makes sense to me. And yes, I tend to cycle very fast when...
You might try some different Meds. I was on Seroquel for two years, and during that time felt pretty zombie-ish myself. When i went off of it, i improved greatly. It may just be your reaction to that...
Usually when i feel myself hitting this stage, starting to spin out of control, and thinking irrationally for the thousandth time, I find some way to cope, or if all else fails, call my...
