I don't know what I'm going to do. Zyprexa worked for me but caused a very quick weight gain. I'm going to an endcronologist on the 29th and hopefully can get on something that will counteract that...
So, I have another pdoc appointment tonight where we will be discussing a new course of meds. I feel like I'm running out of options and need some hope. So, I was wondering if everyone could share...
you are not alone. All of us are, or at one point have been, where you are. I am having a tough time myself recently. We are not alone. Many people suffer and many people find help. We will too. You...
Although I didn't end up in the hospital this weekend I had the same episode, except this time I knew it would pass. I went to bed at 7 last night and slept untill 7 this morning. I just don't...
So, i got taken off the geodon that made me crazy and am back on haldol. I didn't really take it that long before and can't remember much about it. Has anyone had any experience with this drug? How...
I was diagnosed not too long ago and have been through a plethora of meds since. I know how you feel. My father had cancer this past year and I remember thinking-- at least they can fix him and he...
Everyone is so nice on this board. And, whenever I want to curse and shout "Why Me?" I remember that I am not alone. There are so many people like us that I think we may be the norm. Feeling alone is...

Saturday night I landed in the hospital from what I am 99% sure was a reaction to geodon that my doctor just put me on. I am mildly bipolar and OCD with anxiety. I'm just feeling very hopeless right...
I'm used to switching SSRI's and I know all the side effects from that, but I am feeling really weird on the Lithium. I feel spacey and foggy...sometimes I'm nauseas and hungry at the same time...I...
That is such a relief. Can't wait to see if it's going to work for me....
Melinda, Although, I can't offer much advice...I can commiserate. I am OCD and BP2. I've known about the OCD for a while but was just recently diagnosed with the BP. I told my pdoc just last night...
Mommasox...did you have anxiety before going on Lith...has it helped with that. If my anxiety is my mania and vice versa...if the lithium rids me of mania it seems the anxiety should decrease as...
I've been recently diagnosed BP2. I am having a really hard time trying to accept and deal with this. I am currently on Zoloft 150 and xanax 1.5...my pdoc just added Lithium. I just don't know what...
