Seriously, though, there are many times I feel I was misdiagnosed with bipolar...but then my symptoms reappear without me realizing it. I only know I'm not right when I come back to earth. Are the meds helping or hurting? I guess they might help, but I never get really out of control, so I understand the primary point you're making. If I ever found myself in the back of a police car, deeply in debt, or have other extremely serious symptoms I'd most definitely know I have a need for meds. That's not the case, however. Memory fragments & the input of friends raises the ghosts of my episodes - I'm not public enemy #1, though...

In addition to other symptoms that don't really hurt anyone to a great extent, my concentration is truely shot right now; I'm sorry if I missed your point altogether & wrote irrelevant garbage. I guess maybe I need meds...Take care, pirilin.
Hi mgreen, long time no chat.
Candy Crush is a game.
My friends are call themselves Ursa, Nicholly, Suzy, Elvira, Chokolate with K, Imar, Delvia, etc. Those are close encounters that I remember.
I get blue light specials when the night is slow, hehe.

You are right on target. I suffered many years, and all I got was another med added.
Until this new shrinkette. I was heavily medicated at the beggining. Guinea Pig treatment. I reveled because we were going backwards.

Now I reduced the meds to three. I've up to seven meds.
50mg of Lamotrigine. I've been up to 300. Since today, it's a goner. I think that med is the one that interferes with my memory, my concentration and my difficulty spelling. I also blame it to causeing(sp) my car accident.
.75mg Klonopin. Was taking 2mg at one point.
And 10mg of Paxil. My true savior. I took 30mg at one time. Too much med.

I may need the Paxil for life. I suffer from depression big time.
The Klonopin helps sleep sometimes. I take it on and off.
Valeriana also helps me sleep, but I have hyperosmia and can't take the smell.
The best remedy for me is swimming 3 or 4 hours a day.In intervals. I conk(sp) out fast.
I want for her to eliminate the lamotrigine officially. She's afraid of hypomania. I was born with it. And I like it!.

Cheers.
