I Understand

"I kinda feel like im damned if i do and damned if i dont."

I certainly relate to that comment........the frustration is rough and the acceptance, well, even harder...I was put on Lamictal last summer when I
guess I decided to see a dr about the feeling I experienced....based on that and family history I was diagnosed on the spot- I didnt really like that- I want blood tests...I want real hard facts to prove it- I dont think I am "bipolar"- and if I am, I think most everyone else I know is too then- We are all moody-and married to an addict- that creates lots of MOODS right??
Well- sorry to get off on the tangent-I guess relate to the defeated feeling you are also feeling....like taking something everyday definetly affects my idea of my wholeness, too-
Anyhoo- the Lamictal actually made me feel ALOT worse than I ever felt before- another person I know tried 6 different meds before one helped her-give that one a bit more time, but if it doesnt start improving your well being at all, call the dr and try something else...I heard Geodon is good-I also heard Seroquel is bad in the sense that the fatigue is excessive and weight gain too!! Keep trying, and just know there are lots of other people going thru the same..........
