Hi all,
Thought I'd give an update! Everything continues to be positive, from the moment I awake, until I hit the hay at night. The lamictal /zyprexa have "finally" taken hold... my mood is much more consistent. Throw in a bit of zoloft and what can I say!!
Something else I should mention. I had a sleep study last month and discovered I had moderate sleep apnea!! Since starting treatment, my energy levels have sky-rocketed, blood pressure has slightly decreased and so on. I've been doing research on sleep apnea and can't believe how much damage it can do to oneself over time.
Depriving the body of oxygen, healthy rem sleep etc.... I'm quite sure it has played a major role in finding a successful treatment for my bipolar 2??
Anyway, I hope everyone continues to keep well and for those struggling at the moment, try and remain positive, you "will" find the right treatment plan!! :-)
Regards, Rick
