Hi all-

I am Nemo. Just signed up today. I am BP1 with psychotic symptoms, I also have a headache disease called Hemicrania Continua (you can google that for more info). But for the past I would say 3-4 months my meds have finally started to work, I switched to Lithium and Invega, from Lamictal and some other stuff, I take like 12 different meds a day but those are the ones my doc changed and I am finally starting to Mentally feel a little better, after 7 years of trying new meds.

My 8 yr old son also has Bipolar and is taking risperdal and doing pretty good, he has his moments. Don't get me started on his doctor, I don't like her, she I don't think fully belives he is Bipolar, but I know he is, he has sooo many of the symptoms. when he was four he thought God was speaking to him, that was scary. and he has meltdowns all the time. His former doctor belived he was BP, but my hubby got us fired from her, long story...so this new doctor thinks he is ADD-but he does great in school. A mother always knows what is up with her kids, she doesn't know what she is talking about, but she kept him on the meds from the former doctor, I think just in case, I do know what I am talking about and she is wrong, wrong, wrong. o, she also thinks he has anxiety-anxiety kids don't talk about wanting to kill themselves at 8 yrs old because he is depressed, I don't think so. Sorry to go off, but I am all jazzed up about this again, it's just wrong. ok, well I hope to hear from y'all soon, I need some new online buddies.

Love-
Nemo
