Postpartum psychosis to bipolar disorder

I needed a supporting letter for a council house recently in which it stated I had a long history of bipolar disorder. Was news to me. Lol. Prior to my sons birth I had not shown any symptoms or traits relating to bipolar only long periods of depression.

What meds do you take for bipolar disorder?

No need to list exact dosages, I'm just trying to get a feeling for what's being tried. I've recently switched from lamotrigine and ziparasidone (started causing tardive dyskinesia) to valproex acid, Latuda, and Concerta (a stimulant). But now I feel nauseated all the time and have lost my optimism,

It’s finally getting better

I watched my mother and brother battle with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder for most of my life, so I knew that it was very much real, but I simply couldn’t comprehend what they were actually going through or how strong they truly were until I experienced it for myself.

Loneliness and bipolar disorder

My family took time understanding my mental health stress(undiagnosed mild bipolar disorder) but they’re trying but they’re religious and African so.... Prayers are as good as I’ve gotten for treatment but they try to be supportive and encouraging to the best of their ability when I have episodes.

Being manic

I have Bipolar disorder and was recently manic. I just want to feel less alone. Who has ever been manic? What did it feel like for you? For me, it is a wonderful feeling, but never ends well.

Bipolar disorder

My older sister is bipolar. She is currently on 750mg of depakote along with two other meds. Depakote is the medication that stabilized her after she was manic for about two months... ughh to tell you all how difficult, stressful, sad these past two months were. We had to hospitalize her twice!! I quit

Science of Parkinson's - Exenatide

Simon seems to think there is reason for optimism, but this paragraph stands out to me: Unfortunately, there was no significant difference between the liraglutide treated group and the placebo group when the investigators looked at motor symptom scores after 1 year of treatment. Both groups appear to

Prozac and Klonopin

Has anyone developed severe nausea and stomach pain after starting prozac (20mg) and klonopin (1mg)? I was given both at the same time hoping that klonopin would counteract any anxiety effect from prozac. Depression and anxiety have both gotten a lot worse along with severe agitation.
