In reply to I think I'm bipolar - what can I do?, posted by rabble_rouser on November 18, 2005, at 14:13:53
hey. sorry... i missed the random drug test thing...
what drugs do they test for in the random drug test thing???
i ask because... to the best of my knowledge... it is fairly expensive to test for different sorts of substances. and... a specific test is required to test for most substances. so... they will only find substances they are actually looking for... a few different varieties of illegal drugs i suppose.
i'm really not sure that anti-depressants / mood stabilisers would show up in that kind of drug screen. i would say... that it would be worth asking about that over on the substance board and / or the main babble board.
with respect to alternative treatments...
yeah, there surely are some.
you might find a benefit to talking to a therapist.
you might also find benefit to some alternative medications (some people do and the alternatives board would be a good place to ask about that).
