Hello. I am 45 y/o lawyer, mother of two grown children (daughter also bipolar) and have a 3 y/o granddaughter. I've was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1996 after a suicide attempt while on zoloft and klonopin. Have been on a variety of meds since.
I am presently off all meds due to serious serotonin syndrome. Lost my job, my insurance as a result... Have been on a waiting list with the county for mental health services since April. Did get in to see a pdoc for evaluation last week and he recommended Ativan for anxiety, but it still is awaiting approval by the state (rehabilitative services).
I am on a totally organic diet, no chemicals, no OTC meds, nothing. I am doing very well except for the anxiety in the mornings, which may be metabolic. Not sure. I am interviewing for jobs, but the process is slow. In the meantime, my house is on the market, as I have only unemployment income. Could sure use some understanding friends.
