Thanks Lady - that makes purfect sense - i don't think i have multiple either, I have realized that Stacie is the self pittiful me, the one that thinks everyone is out to get her, to hurt her, she...

thanks for the input guys.. The doc I'm actually seeing Friday is just my Gen Doc, I know, I know, I need to see a pdoc, problem is I don't have one and I know it's just going to be so hard to start...
Not sure how the lamictal is going, feeling dizzy and sleepy but can't sleep - ?? will stick with it - by Friday, if still having a hard time, maybe I'll switch to taking it in the am and live with...
Maybe I've already lost it - I am cylcothymic as most of you know - that is almost BPI anyway, in a nutshell, my moods swing VERY fast, usually like BP manic, and depressed, but here lately, they are...

I know this has already been asked, or answered before, but my crazy mind can't grasp it - Can I take Lamictal and Xanax together? I read somewhere not to take benzos with lamactil, my doc says it's...
Hey Kelly, that would be cool to talk about - whatever, I am soo angry right now at everybody, and the home life sux too, son is 16 - need I say more? right now I just want to run away and not look...

/community/emoticons/confused.gif I have a question for yall - Since I'm new to this whole BP world, have been diagnosed with cyclothymic (milder form of BPI) I'm not real sure what to expect this...
well, here's what I think - if you like your therapist now, I'd say keep going to her, if not, you are 18 now, so you can find your own - I went to Social Services and they hooked me up with the...
Well, as I not only suffer from a milder form of BPI, but from panic/anxiety attacks also, what I do when I find myself in a stressful situation is go into my room, lights down low, maybe soft music,...

Thanks, Crissi - I of course bailed out last night - did not start them - I don't think it's the rash that bothers me - it's the possibly getting dizzy that I worry about, which could put me into a...
I first went online and looked at bipolar, went to a pdoc she told me I had cyclothymic disorder a mild form of bp 1 , anyway I did research on that found that she knew what she was talking about,...
I think I have found my twin /community/emoticons/tongue.gif You and I have the SAME symptoms - scary huh - the only difference is my resting HR is 60bpm, and if it gets over 75 and I'm just sitting...
