Hi all. I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder when I was about 36 years old. I was not very compliant with medication and was also an active Alcoholic at the time. I also suffer from panic/anxiety attacks, my first being at 13 years old.

I got sober 12 years ago and didn't feel I should be on ANY medication so I was active in my Mania and Depression for many years (I think my new husband just thought I was wacky!!)

In January of this year I relapsed for 2 weeks and am now back in recovery and am willing to address my Bipolar disorder and stay compliant with meds.

I am looking for support as I really didn't want to give up the "manic" side of me! Also I am extremely tired as I titrate up on my Lamictal (just went up to 100mg on Friday) and Dr also added Zoloft on Friday as well.

So glad there is a support group as I usually don't talk at my Bipolar at AA meetings, although my Sponsor has a sister with Bipolar so that helps!
