Dear Rainbow faerie....
Are you taking lamictal or triletal?
I have taken both as mood stabilizer.
The trileptal really was not a good mood stabilizer for me.
I am on the lamictal right now and I think I am doing well.
It sounds like you are rapid cycling and this is very hard to stabilze....ARe you on a antipyschotic medicationat all?
like abilify, seroquel or geodon????
this sounds so very hard on your relationship and your s/o maybe or may not be very supportive of you....
hang in there...the ssdi will get approved it just may not be a soon as you like...there should be back pay though...?

Hi Bizi,

I am only taking Trileptal right now, tomorrow I double my dose. I was trying to find what an average dose of Trileptal is, but maybe there's no such thing?

Yeah, the relationship has been rocky. She is not one who thinks much of medications & therapy. She was pretty against them, but I finally said I was tired of feeling like this and it was my body and so my right to take care of it how I thought was best.

I think a lot of people don't understand and it is really hard when the person who often sees you as a problem is the person you love most in the world. Sigh. She is supportive in her own way, takes me to appointments and is working two jobs while I wait on my SSDI. But she won't go to family counseling or anything like that. So I read a lot about it, I come on here. I hope to make a friend who has this too. It would help

Thanks,
Rainbow Faerie
