I'm new here. I'm BP I w/ psychoses, insomnia, hypersomnia, and social anxiety disorder. I was diagnosed in 2007. I've been through several waves of pdocs and tdocs. I've damaged many relationships and built many more. I'm here to make friends and get advice for living more steadily.
I'm on the following medications: Lamictal/Lamotrigine 200mg x 2/day Eskalith/Lithium 450mg x 2/day Remeron/Mirtazipine 30mg/day Celexa/Citalopram 20 mg x 1.5/day and the following supplements/natural remedies: Multivitamin 1/day Super B Complex 1/day B-12 1000mcg/day SAM-e 400mg/day I use mood tracker to chart everything. I started an exercise program. What else can I do to help myself? I so badly want to be operable. My bed sheets are way too boring. |

It sounds like you are trying very hard, good job! Giving yourself credit is hard while you are down.
Does your P-doc know you are taking SAM-E? It definitely can cause mania/hypomania. Just wanted to welcome you and say hello. ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'm blessed with a tremendously understanding boyfriend. He's always been there for me and never judged me.
My doctor doesn't know I'm on SAM-e yet...I'm going to ask him what he thinks about it when I see him in August. He has this funny idea that I'm "better." In a sickly sort of way it makes me feel good because I know I've faked a lot. Faking...not only for orgasms anymore. I'm really so glad to find a place that's tons more active then I'm used to. I started walking about an hour every day since last week. I've been feeling so much better. Put my dog to sleep today. I could've done without that. Thanks for the warm welcome. |

Sorry to hear about your dog.
![]() No need to fake feeling better for your doc. That's what he/she is there for: to hear your problems and try to adjust your meds so you feel better. It's good that you're walking, but do let your doc know what's going on. ![]() |

decided to drop the SAM-e until I get back on a therapuetic dose of Lamictal again being that I secretly titrated to get off of it due to the price. Mood, mood, mood. Pills, pills, pills. My head hurts so badly today. I'm trying very hard not to lash out at anyone. I feel so sick.
