While we have a lot of depression in our family - thankfully I haven't been affected - there isn't any bipolar. I'm so glad that you've found something that works, and here's hoping it stays working for you.

However, my sister was a misdiagnosis, thankfully. Her issues ended up being thyroid related. Our family spent nearly a year struggling with her and the medication that turned her into a zombie. It was a terrible time for our entire family. Your post is full of hope and good information. Based on what we experienced, I would also encourage everyone to get 3 or 4 or more opinions---bipolar symptoms can be deceiving.Coraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159825656377700192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-44457911644413307322012-02-15T19:41:10.398-05:002012-02-15T19:41:10.398-05:00I'm glad you wrote this and I'm glad you f...I'm glad you wrote this and I'm glad you found something that helps.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-75419937498253265012012-02-15T10:09:31.084-05:002012-02-15T10:09:31.084-05:00VERY informative and well written post.

That seemed to work great. AND I lost weight (you fortunately do not have a weight issue!)<br /><br />I need to get back there! Hugs Tami.

It does seem to be more openly talked about these days though which I'm sure is a good thing.

Two have been diagnosed with Bipolar and another refuses to seek treatment. MANIA is at the core of one's problems. The other is always depressed and the third is literally all over the place. The drug Risperdal changed one of their lives. That person has been in remission, symptom free of Bipolar for 5 years, now. I am glad to hear you have medication that helps. Once you have that things get so much more manageable. But I know it is a constant struggle. I also know the tips you put here in your blog today will HELP other people and their families facing this illness. Please take care of yourself. You are not alone.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.com
