@stocksailor - welcome to MSF. Sorry you are faced with the challenges of bipolar in your wife. I am a caregiver of my partner with bipolar. It has been quite and adventure to put it in a positive frame of mind or a roller coaster ride like Thunder Mountain.
I hear your questions but like the doctor with more knowledge than I have, I cannot answer. Everyone responds to meds differently. Meds affect brain chemistry. They are not simple like taking an aspirin and the headache goes away. Sometimes the meds that work initially are supplemented or superceded by other meds. I took the NAMI Family to Family course in my area and it really helped me gain an understanding of how complex bipolar can be. It also helped me see that others were in the same boat as I am and some have even greater challenges they work on. Feel free to reply to this message and include in your message, @CANDC so I get a mention that you responded to this post. If you care to send a private message by clicking on my name CANDC to the left of this message and click on Send A Private Message. Hope you get the support you are looking for. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |
