I've been wanting to get my tubes reversed for several months and secretly for over a year. My dh says that it is just another obsession. My heart truly tells me this is the path to take. Am I wrong....
Here's something to try.... I don't know if you are financially able to, but why not go to the mall, walk around, maybe buy yourself something. Most of the time, my body feels like this because I...
Every since I upped my lithium dose today I can hardly move. All my joints, muscles and both sides hurt. Is this a side effect of the Lithium?...
Oh, I feel so sorry for you. I felt that way a few weeks ago. It almost feels like you are in your skin, and you want to rip yourself out. I couldn't find anyway to calm down. I took my Klonopin and...
I don't know if anyone is qualified enough to answer your problems. But I can say, being a BP wife, that my husband is my rock. If not for him, I don't know what would happen to me. Sometimes I don't...
I had my daughter before I was diagnosed with BiPolar. During the time that she was an infant I was sleep deprived, manic/depressed and had major anxiety issues. I dealt with all this because my dh...
Starting Topamax tonight. Keep your fingers crossed. Since my Lamictal was reduced last week, I've been on a rapid-cycle ever since....
My doc lowered my Lamictal last week to 50mg due to side effects. He said to call if I am having some issues (high/low emotions) which I am (rapid cycling). I'm going to call today and ask about...
Emily... Has it worked as a mood stabilizer? I would absolutely love to loose weight, but I want my mind to be okay too. I don't want to take it for the wrong reasons. I am BPII with a lot of...
Okay. Can they give Topamax with Lithium? I REALY don't want to gain any weight. When I was on Prozac, I lost some and was starting to feel good about myself. Now I'm off the Prozac, on Lamictal and...
Just wondering who is on Topamax and with what combination of other drugs. I've been on Lamictal for nearly 2 months. My doctor cut down my dosage due to some abnormal side effects (numbness, lack of...
Lamictal and Xanax for the anxiety... definately need more Lamictal. I still feel disconnected from the world most of the time. Manic some days, depressed others....
I have some issues with being VERY sensitive to physical contact, light and sounds. Is this something I should discuss with my Pdoc? When my husband taps my leg it hurts pretty bad. The least amount...
No sign of a rash. Have been doing good on it except for minor headaches....
I've been on Lamictal for nearly 5 weeks now. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. It comes and goes during the day. But at times it is really annoying to think that things are crawling on you....
I keep feeling like there are crawling bugs all over me. I'm itchy and every little thing that stirs a hair feels like there are bugs. What's up with this? Anyone else ever experience it? Peg...
Thank you. I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. I've been on Lamictal for 3 weeks now. I have seen an improvement, but notice that irritability springs up still....
Since starting my Lamictal I have been having very vivid and real dreams. It is really weird. Last night I was dreaming and when I woke up it was like the event actually occurred. I was extremely...
I've been having a conversation with someone and think about what I'm gonna say and it totally leaves my brain. I may remember it about 10 minutes later, when the topic is over. :) This happens very...
I've been experiencing short term memory loss and was wondering if it is a side effect of the disorder or the Lamictal that I'm on. I've also forgotten some pertinent information that I use daily. It...
It was amazing to have my hubby say "I experienced what you have been describing and it was terrifying". When he came to bed he just snuggled up to me and held me, because he finally got that what I...
I wonder the same thing. Is what I want something that I really, really want, or am I just obsessing over something until I get it and then two weeks later I regret it....
NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!! Oh I feel your pain a majority of the time. Peg...
Thank you for the reply. I will call my Pdoc today. I was a tad concerned when he took me off the Prozac, but figured he knew best. I've also been experiencing a weird type of headache. My head just...
Okay, I've been on the Lamictal for 8 days now and on the 4th day of it I had a depressive episode that was SOOO bad. I am thinking of calling my Pdoc and seeing if he will put me on Wellbutrin. He...
This is my 4th day of Lamictal and 5th day off Prozac and I am in a SEVERE depression. Seriously considering suicide, cant get out of bed, dont want any stimulation and am really scared. This is the...
How many people get startled by lound noises, very easily?...
HAbbey.... I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I feel okay, but most of the time I can't think straight and I get really scared, because I don't know how I am ever going to feel calmness again in...
Is it me...or do some stupid things set off irrational anger. I can be doing fine all day, then BAM my daughter doesn't do what I say and I get irrationally angry and stay that way for a long time....
Unfortunately No. I live in a rural community and the one place that specializes is so booked. I've been put back another two days since this morning. ARGHHHH...
I have been waiting for over 2 months to see my pdoc. about two years ago he diagnosed me as borderline bp. I have begun to get a whole lot worse in the last year. I'm on prozac 40 mg and Xanax .25...
Unfortunately the dr does not have a cancellation list. I have to call and bug every couple of days to see if someone cancelled. The only other alternative is hospitalization to get a regimine going...
I'm in the processed of being diagnosed as BPII. My therapist says that I fit all the profile for it, but I have to wait until May 4 to see the Psych. Which is extremely frustrating. Thanks for the...
Okay. Is it me or during mania, I tend to want to create or destroy something. Example: rip up carpeting to lay flooring, tear apart a room to re-clean it, paint, remodel, rake, anything to move!...
