Hi P.C., J.K. and all.
Pork chop-- Did you get to read my reply to your mis-posted message? I try to believe in at least 2/3 of that stuff. Sometimes it's hard.
What do you do when you feel that you went "over the edge" with someone--that you were extreme, more than the "normal" human being? Lately, I find that I want to blame it on my BP disorder...And lately I find that it doesn't help to use it as a scapegoat for bad behavior. But sometimes it seems to be the only logic behind some of the things I do. I hate that. My boyfriend is starting to get tired of "I'm not feeling stable yet...sorry for being out of control". What does one do? It's only recently that I have been AWARE of my disorder (about 8 months now...trying to find just the right med, going through psychotherapy and what-not). Just sometimes I wish that I wasn't me with a big label hanging over my head.I have been pretty turbulent at times over the past couple of weeks (50 mg Lam) but overall, I feel better b/c I can sleep now. I will probably increase to 75 mg on monday.
Have any of you tried Lithium WITH Lamictal? I wonder if I don't feel any better after like 100 mg Lamictal if I should drop out of the study and try adding Lithium...
How is everyone else? Updates, please.
