Previously a mix of Depakote and Risperdal. I guess I'd be in the BP I category, since I need anti-psychotics over anti-depressants.

Starting therapy Thursday. Getting back with my previous p-doc at his new practice. Tried to go back to WVU, but he had finished his residency and they put me on the new paitient wait list of up to 12 weeks!

Therapist is my chiropractor's wife. He told me we were low on treatments and it didnt seem to be helping. I told him I need to get my stress under control. He said well talk to my wife, who's wellness practice is upstairs.

I gave her a quick rundown, she was able to jog my memory as to the name of my previous p-doc, and she knew him and where he was practicing!

My symptoms include but are not limited too:

-Negative thoughts, sui thoughts, racing thoughts, impulsive thoughts
-Insomnia, restlessness, irratability, mood swings
-TENSION in the muscles, causing inflammation, causing spasm, causing cramping, casuing my spine to work out of alignment PAINFUL!
-Daily headaches: feels like one side of my brain is literally boiling, up to and including full blown migraines.
-Uncontrolled nerve firings: muscle twitches, sensations as if being tased or touching an electric current
-A renewed desire to drink alcohol until all of the above stop
