Replies to 'Bipolar Disorder'

torifaith and faith, thank you so much for replying.

I did indeed spoke to my doctor yesterday and he gave me the response I've been getting for over 10 years now....sorry, can't do nothing, except for adding yet another drug. I realize I should not quite my meds, but I certainly don't wan't to add another one to it.....I'm already feeling a bit 'drugged up' at times as it is already, and I fear another will make that worse. I take lithium and Tegretol (if that's the English name as well), and now he decided to up the Tegretol. I hope it helps!  He says they don't start trying new meds until I've taking these for at least a few months, so we'll see what happens. I'm just gonna be positive about it I guess.

Problem for me is....me. All this time I've been running as fast as I can to keep up with the life I had, and it's hitting me in the face right now. It's getting really hard to stay in college, keep up with things etc. That's why I'm so anxious to get the meds right; I'm afraid that if I'll lose control I won't be able to get it back. All that pressure adds, I mean, if I get kicked out of college I won't be able to go back.....I know those are things I should not be concerned with now, but still, I can't help it.

But you're right when you say one (me) has to be patient and positive. And that's what I'm gonna be. It's sure nice to be able to read stories by other people, and post questions and stuff. I don't know anyone else who is bipolar. And it gives me hope to hear you're back in college :)

Thanks again.
