HiYour posts brought tears to my eyes because I have been in the same position so many times. In April of this year I was thinking the same thoughts as you. I was in hospital again, changing drugs again and wondering why at 39 I had not found a way to wellness. I felt as though the Bipolar had finally got me and would not let go. I was worried that the new combination of drugs would fail as all the others had. A few months later I had to come off Efexor which was a horrible experience but lead me to this site looking for answers looking for change. Since then I have decided that the Bipolar will not beat me! The two mood stabelizers I am on seem to be working quite well. I am taking supplements to assist the meds and my poor brain. I am eating really well and drinking lots of water. I am trying to exercize at the moment just gentle walks. I do feel so much better! I am calmer, more balanced (amazing for a girl who cycles up and down during the day) and less depressed. I am fighting because there is really no other choice. Please don't give up. Keep coming to this site and looking for ways to get better. The alternative section is wonderful. There is so much out there we just have to find the answers for ourselves sometimes. I have stopped relying only on my doctor and my meds. They only do so much and I need more weapons to fight my fight.
Be well.
