The lack of mood rebound helps me worry less about the possibility of starting mood stablisers, so thank you for sharing that.
Is there a particular medication you'd recommend I look into? (newbie) |
Thank you
No permanent damage, just had to stay in the ICU for a week and be on dialysis. I was on a high dose though, it's not very common at all for that to happen. Was on 1800mg.
I'm doing great on the meds I'm on now but I think it's the combination that helps me. My technical diagnosis is in my signature, Schizoaffective Bipolar. One of the meds I'm on is Depakote, which helps a lot especially with the manic aspect of it. The only thing I don't like is the weight I've gained on it, it will be harder to lose the weight but I'm working on it
