How many of you have/or do self-medicate on top of your daily regimen. For example I have been diagnosed bi-polar 1 almost 2 years now. I have taken more of my klonopin at times due to severe agitation or insomnia. I also have regularly drank about a 6-pack of beer a week give or take a few as well as smoke pot for the past 6 months.

My wife is pregnant and we are expecting any time now. I have just started latuda which may hold promise for me. Basically, I cannot deal with the thoughts/aggitation/etc, and have told my doc that I will self medicate if I am desperate. Just wondering if I am alone I guess; this seemed the best forum for this question.

God Bless,
