Hi what medication are you on ? My husband has bipolar type 1 and medication can vary alot he used to be on Olanzapine which I think is a horrible maintenance drug but excellent for stopping mania , he is on abilify now which is alot better , if you are female hormones may play a part in your illness

hey, yes here are a few groups available on bipolar & anxiety discussion. In which people help others by sharing their own experiences of how they helped themselves. As in my case i had a close friend who has bipolar disorder and anxiety both at a time. He was using a combination of (medication and psychotherapy). Most people take more than one drug, like a mood-stabilizing drug and an antipsychotic or antidepressant. Of course, it cannot be cured but yes we can make our life easy to live with this problem.
