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 |
Thank goodness for that! I've been at the hand of further troubles from consequences of treatment (and ended up in the ICU as well), and I know how scary and debilitating it can be, when you think "finally!" ... but not quite.
I feel over time though as we get past it, it makes us stronger
I'll take a look into Depakote, thank you
I have a lot of the Schizo-????? traits as well and that was resparked in my mind last night after reading someone elses "about me". One problem at a time though (or at least, that's what I tell myself
)
Thank you
Miguel'smom, i'll be sure to check out though too!
