Depressed despite medications with almost crippling anxiety
I was told I had bipolar type 2 and put on depakote, I weighed 125 when I started it in August of 2017, and now I weigh 180lbs that depresses me the most and becoming anorexic has crossed my mind more than once. I don't eat junk food, I exercise 4 days a week. I'm disgusted with myself. The depression

6 years of not smoking
Jan 19 marked my 6th year anniversary of not smoking. i very rarely think of smoking, and don't want a cigarette ever again. I do need to keep up my dopamine levels though: exercise and yoga does it for me. I get my "chemical fix" from yoga. I quit smoking with Champix - the Champix didn't stop the

Are You Worth My Time ?
I have for the most part stopped initiating conversations with people. I will however respond to those who address me. I would not want to be rude. I have for years now looked at somebody and asked does a relationship with you add to or subtract from my life. I no longer have the ability to have a bunch

This what my neuro dr. told me today
1. C/L long use is causing dyskinesia - nonsense; dyskinesia is caused by the advanced PD - not enough cells to store/produce dopamine left; he urged me to start C/L asap. 2. Proteins slow down the C/L absorption - nonsense; actually is the alcohol which does it. 3. Parkinson is a nonhereditary disease

Levodopa Medications and Vitamin B6
Introduction
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in over 100 enzymatic reactions. In the process it is converted from the active form, principally P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate), to the inactive form, pyridoxine. An excess of pyridoxine is toxic because it occupies sites that require the active form. For this

A PD type? Postural Instability gait disorder
Hello, I am in seven fighting years into PD. My main issues are balance, freezing, bradykinesia and gait. I have essentially no resting tremor, no constipation, etc. with some softness of voice later in the day. I get RLS when the dopamine runs low, but I manage that with a self-directed mucuna’ L-Dopa

My daughter in vegetative state
Hello everyone, I’m new here. My daughter 21 years old is in the icu for nearly two months now. She has epilepsy and stomach bleeding. She was put on induced coma and intubated for a month. She ‘s been weaned from the ventilator but still can’t move or talk. Sometimes she opens her eyes but not wide

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
I was on
depakine
chrono for 2 years, but gained weight, lost lots of hair and energy, so together with my Dr. we decided to stop the meds. Since one year I'm med free! Now I'm planning on starting raw hemp oil drops (CBD+CBDa). Does anybody else in here have JME? Any tips on the drops? Thanks🤗
