Hi all, I have just recently been diagnsoed as Bipolar I after a long term diagnosis of major depression.

Now I have been diagnosed I can see everything alot clearer - explains alot of the things that have happened in my life: overspending, manic type behaviour, high agitation, high anxiety etc etc.

It's a relief to finally know what's been happening.

because I also suffer from a condition (vocal cord disorder) called spasmodic dysphonia, my doc has put me on gabapentin (neurontin) as it helps my voice incredibly and is seeming to 9so far) keep me very balanced. I also take 20 mg prozac and 1mg clonazepam per day.

Anyone else tried gabapentin?

Anyway, ti's good to be here, can't wait to learn more about how to "deal" with all of this, epecially at work!

Cheers

Cashy
