first of all, I think im somewhat hypomanic/mixed state right now. I feel wired, yet sad, and suicidal. I cant see any hope, nor can I concentrate. I feel like I'm in a mess and cant fix it. I am obsessing about god knows what, I just cant stand medication side effects.
Im in a whole different mindstate today and idk why. just not normal.I feel like I have treatment resistant bipolar. I mean i respond to meds somewhat, but cant tolerate the side effects. They are just too much!!!!! Im sure there are many that can relate. I have tried all the bipolar meds pretty much. Lamotrigine being the best.
But it gives me terrible joint pain. Im 18 years old and I feel like I'm 40. It's something I cannot tolerate. I mean I can tolerate it for a little bit, then it just drives me insane.I was wondering about Primidone. A barbituate that is rarely used for bipolar disorder. I am scared it would maybe cause depression though, considering it is in a class of "downer" drugs. I dont need downers, trust me.
I was wondering about barbituates in general for bipolar.
