Good I'm glad I've helped.
I know how tiring it is to play doctor even when you're paying one to do it for you!
I know all about mood swings. I hate them, but wonder if I'm addicted to them. Would I even LIKE stability after years of roller coaster rides? It's going to take some getting used to. I still have hope that I'll find the right med combo for me. Right now I'm titrating up on Lamictal (100mg). I need to go higher and more than likely we'll add lithium.
I can't say it enough. If you don't have a problem with alcohol, please don't acquire one! it's soooooo hard to stop. I stopped for five weeks and last night I crumbled due to my mood. I HAD to feel better and i drank. now I feel worse. It has a tight grip on me. It's been my medication for years. Now that I have a dx and know what's going on with me and have meds, I really don't need the alcohol anymore. but it's an addiction with me and a hard damn one to break. it's hard every single day.
