the meds work differently for everyone, but lithium is so oldschool! side effects! my hubby is on a LAMICTAL as a mood stabalizer and it is working very well for him.also he takes CYBALTA and I swear I think that stuff is a wonder drug! what a difference. he need antipsychotics and when he was on zxyprexa he was dopey but when they gave him ablify instead and added cybalta I swear within weeks I said "I HAVE MY HUSBAND BACK!!!" now I'm not saying that exact cocktail will work for you, but maybe what you need is your meds adjusted. It ALWAYS takes some time.

Maybe you should try a different medication. Or less Lithium. That sounds like an awful lot of lithium. Maybe switch Effexor with another antidepressant. Do you have a husband or another family that can go in to see the doctor with you and be an advocate for you? That usually helps.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. It sounds to me as though your meds are either not the right ones, not the right mix, not the right dose, etc. Sometimes it takes years to get the right medications in the right amount. I would guess from what you say that you are having trouble controlling the manic side of the disorder. I say, be insistant with your doctor about trying different medication regimens until you find the right one. Keep working at it. If they aren't willing to work with you, find someone that is. You have a dangerous and hard to control illness, but you can get totally well. Don't settle for anything less. Good luck and hang in there.

you're kidding your self in case you imagine Miami would not have more desirable than a million star. Wade is a star i do not see why you Lebron dickriders are writing him off basically because of one million undesirable playoff sequence nicely... you adult men did opt for him traded very last season in the course of the Pacers sequence so I should not be suprised. Lebron has a stacked crew, little question it. each and every man or woman on that roster can shoot except for some participant he's were given the perfect 3 aspect shooter in NBA historic past on his crew for fcks sake. Lebron's teamates were wearing him all sequence, Ray had a large sport 2, Come had a large sport 3, have you ever forgot about that. Lebron ultimately himself led his crew to a win at present I congratulate him. do not underrated Lebron's teamates basically to make him seem more desirable infact, with out Lebron they nonetheless make the ecf's now a minimum of. LOl you of route haven't any recognize-how of basketball in any respect. Lakers did not have a stacked crew decrease back in 2002 it became basically Shaq and Kobe infact, i will list out the perfect gamers on Lakers 2002 rosters- a million.Shaq' 2.Kobe 3.Fisher 4.Rick Fox 5.Horry 6. Deavin fcking George -the different scrubs ain't even nicely worth declaring. Lakers did not have a stacked forged in any respect infact, their crew shot basically 35% from 3 compared to the warmth's 39%.Lakers crew became terrible surrounded through an allright assisting forged it became basically Kobe and Shaq. to analyze Lebron's assisting forged and Kobe's assisting forged is an outrage. Lebron has a stacked crew, they have carried him him so a procedures this sequence, basically because Lebron is in a position to throw a bypass courtroom bypass to an open shooter at the same time as frequently all 5 of his teammates out their can shoot, would not make him mind-blowing. You supply him too a lot credit fanboy. Wade is a celebrity, Bosh is an allstar, he has a stacked crew complete of shooters and a first rate middle now in birdman. do not underrate his teammates fool. ok, you may give up correct there. Horry shot 3's horribly decrease back in 2003 infact, he's under no circumstances been that giant of a 3pt shooter or shooter, you of route do not recognize what you're talking about. the warmth of route has a lot a lot a lot more desirable intensity than the Lakers had, and more desirable function gamers and also you recognize that's genuine. give up performing like you recognize something, you all started gazing the NBA in 2010.

I don't think there is anything else going on with you mentally, but I do believe your medications may need tweaking a little bit. The current doses are obviously not working the way they should so you should let your doctor know what is going on - all your symptoms and the way you are feeling and ask them about your medication. My best friend is also bipolar with anxiety and has 3 kids so I know where you are coming from. See your doctor and talk to them again and take it from there. Stay strong and good luck.

have any of your Dr's told you to increase your intake of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids? they are directly linked to most mental illnesses.
