First of all. Welcome to pc!

While i am not a doctor, self medicating is dangerous. You need to let your doctor know what you have been up to. the combo of the two things you are using could be really bad.

I hope you can come back, post often and get the support from us that you need - please take care, see the doc, and keep us updated.

Hi! I'm glad you joined. The people here are really supportive. They have helped me a lot.
I hope you can kick the coke and get better!!!!
Have you considered a therapist? I just read on the bipolar blog that the combo of meds and psychotherapy is very useful in treating bipolar.

Hello flying,

I have to agree with Cthomas about the medication danger. Do yourself a favor and play the smart odds, get a checkup with your physician.

Think of it like a wheel alignment on a car. It'll enable your path to be on a more direct course, be easier to steer and make for a more comfortable ride. After all, 30+ years of self medicating makes for some serious mis-alignment!
