Wow! Talk about a blast from the past! I came back to this site for some information, but here's the update...kinda crazy, even for me.
So almost 4 years ago I was bummed that I had to wait a month to try Bipolar meds. Well, I started taking Depakote ER at some point after that, but here's what's funny. I *completely* forgot my Dr. ever said anything about possibly being Bipolar! I knew the Depakote was also for Bipolar, but I was using it for mood stabilizing.
Anyway, imagine my surprise when I come back to get info on Bipolar Type II which is what I'm now officially diagnosed with, and I see my postings from almost 4 years ago thinking the same thing. And it amazes me too, because I was WAY out of control back then, didn't know it.
So now I'm taking Cymbalta, Klonopin, Depakote ER, and just started Abilify. Adderall sometimes when I remember to ask for the prescription.
Thanks for listening to my rants!
