This is too much info to handle ... joking, sort of.
I guess I'd have to stand in the Bipolar IV group. (I envision all these groups in a high school auditorium wearing different colored vests.)
Seriously, I remember one time I was put on Zoloft. I took one either that morning or the eve before. I arrived at the meeting point for a camping trip. Anyway, for about an hour, I was actually singing and dancing around, "We're going camping. We're gonna' have lots of fun and make a fire! It's gonna' be real cold and we're not gonna' care!"
I went on and on for about an hour, full of energy and optimism. My son and everyone got a real kick out of it.
But, when that hour ended, it really ended, ended. I hit rock bottom for about three days straight. It was the biggest 'drag of a camping trip' I've ever had.
I've referred to it here before as being like being in the movie 'Awakenings'.
Just saw new P and will p/u Abilify tomorrow. Never tried it before. I brought it up and P said he was thinking of it also, it and Lamictal. I'd been on Lamictal and shared a side effect I would not tolerate. So, if anyone has been down Abilify Road, that could 'choose their words carefully re: their reaction', I'd be interested in hearing those 'carefully chosen words'. (Forgive me, but I'm so easily responsive to suggestion!)
I should prob' post Abilify on med board.
bestwishes, cf
