I ask this questions because I feel like I've tried so many meds the last 8 years and have found nothing to be very effective. I've read that hormones can play a big part in our moods and emotions. I've had my thyroid checked but that always comes back normal.

Do any of you take supplements that help your bipolar? I'm really only taking ambien for sleep right now. I've had friends tell me to smoke weed for my anxiety...well that just makes me more anxious! Lately I will have a couple days of feeling good so I make plans and then can't follow through with them because I dip into darkness. The ups and downs are going to kill me.

If I can't find a medicine that helps, what else is there?
