Hi everybody, I posted an intro on the general intros thread too. My main issue right now is bipolar 2 (other issues are GAD, PTSD, alcoholism, and anorexia). I currently take Lamictal, Seroquel, Neurontin, and Atarax. The meds have helped a lot, especially with the anxiety, but I still have rapid-cycling mood episodes, which has been the main problem lately. It's been rough lately because I've been cycling every few days, whereas usually my episodes are a couple weeks to a couple months long. I'm having a hard time at work and am just struggling in general. It's exhausting, and when I'm down I'm so tired. I saw my psychiatrist yesterday, and she increased my Seroquel, so hopefully that will help soon. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to talking with you guys. It's nice to be in a place where people get it and don't freak out when they hear "bipolar."
