Great Posting Here! I somehow stopped getting notifications on this thread a while back and thought it ended.
Essentially it seems that MOST bipolars here are finding the same situation as I am. Proper treatment is not set in stone, it's often comorbid with other stuff, and it's often a crapshoot towards success. I finally dispelled the idea that Lithium and Depakote can and will work for everyone if they "simply take there pills."
Sometimes I forget I have bipolar disorder. I'll think I only have depression or maybe an anxiety disorder, or ADHD. Then I get hypomanic or I feel just fine, or experience unacceptable side effects. I guess I have all of these things and they alternate beyond my control and my experience in the end isn't much different from the rest of the gang here. Sometimes I worry it is and my doctor is an idiot, but I guess treating this stuff is highly complex.
I would like to get onto a more stable regimen of meds and not have to jump in every few days with psychiatric bandaids consisting of MS's, AD's, benzos all the time.
Thanks for sharing,
Scott
