I'm on lithium, lamictal, and clonazepam. My bipolar is one 30 day manic episode several years ago. It was the happiest time of my life. lol I did serious yardwork 14 hours a day. My yard, my neighbors yard, etc. I had the energy of a 19 year old.
I've been thru a gazillion AD's, most didn't help much if at all and I've had crazy side effeects.
I just wonder if I should just give them a break for a while.
Some may say I'm taking my life in my own hands but I was on an AD when I attempted suicide.
My doc switched me to Pristiq which scared me out of my wits with mixed states and a general feeling of snorting coke.
I'm going to try to squeeze in an appt w/ doc this week and I'm sure he'll switch me to another AD. Am I getting anywhere with this? Nope.
I guess I'll take his advice or argue with him till the cows come home.
But I truly feel, with sexual se and other assorted se, fat, dumb and stupid if I'm doing myself any favors. It sure as hell doesn't feel like it.
