hello Scott
>
> - What drugs are you currently taking?•1200 mg of lithium & Dexedrine as needed.
> - How are you doing on them?
•Pretty good, other than the acne and feeling pretty stupid--both from the lithium.
> - How has your cycle(s) changed?
•now instead of 1/2 week high and 1/2 week low (14 years), I'm 1 week with a mood level at a 6 and the next week I am at a mood level of a 4. I am hoping this continues to flatten.
> - How long have you been responding to them?
•sorry Scott not sure what you mean.
> - How has your sleep been affected?
•Of course, my sleep goes again with my moods. On my good week, I need 8.5 hours of sleep. On my not so good week, it's an effort to get out of bed (If I let myself, I'd sleep at about 10 hours).
> - Which of the stimulants have you found to be the most helpful?
•I've only tried Dexedrine. When something works, I'm very loyal.
> - Do you think that you are all fixed?
•I'm hoping I'm pretty damn close, just some fine tuning. It's starting to feel kind of like a miracle that I'm scared to believe in.
I can see why you've learnt so much Scott. Your disorder sounds like a very difficult variety of an already difficult disorder to treat.Please keep us updated.
