HI Everyone. I'm 29 years old. I was diagnosed last year while undergoing a Manic episode with Psychosis. I was force medicated for over a month with Lithium and Risperidone. I had to taper off the meds over 6 months. I'm med free and I've managed to loose 15lbs from the 25lb weight gain from the meds. I'm 5'5 125 lbs. I was severely depressed following my manic episode and had it not been for the Lithium and Risperidone, I would have recovered from my depression a lot sooner. I just had a session of Biofeedback and it shows that I'm doing much better. My brain is healthier. My mood and motivation have gone from 0-7. On my way to Hypomania, my baseline state where I am highly creative yet functional and not a danger to myself.
