So yeah. They are really common with bipolar and bipolar type disorders. I get them too. I started medicine for them and it helps A TON though. I couldnt believe how much it helped. Might be worth checking out for you too. |
Thanks for the link, I hadn't found that one. I am getting treatment for the migraines, Botox, physical therapy, and Emgality which is one of the new classes of prophylactic medication. I used to be on Topamax, which was before my BP diagnosis, and it helped a lot, but with the side effect of mental deterioration. I quit that when I eventually got the Lithium.
