Anyway, it made me think of all the stupid/insane comments I've heard from doctors who are supposed to be smarter than me. Suddenly I heard this strange noise..... and then realized that, for the first time in a ridiculously long time, I was laughing!

So, I pose the question to you all: What are some of your favorite stupid/funny/crazy doctor quotes? I know you all must have a few doozies! Perhaps we can help each other laugh a little!]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 06:10:40 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36782-have-you-ever-had-your-head-examined/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36779-can-someone-tell-me-what-hypomania-is/
The anxiety can keep up as an insomniac, but usually if I don't get sleep I'm exhausted the next day, so I suppose I fail that test.

What's it like for you? It's generally pleasurable, not irritable/anxious right?

Also, is it possible for someone to be depressed, anxious, hypomanic all in the same day? I believe I've heard of this before, and I've felt this way on many occasions, but assumed it was a side effect of my anxiety disorder.

Is it possible for someone who bipolar to just be hypomanic or manic and never show signs of depression?

One last question for anyone out there who deals with anxiety, panic, and bipolar, is lithium a one stop treament? I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably going to be on some type of medication for the rest of my life for anxiety, but if lithium can control mood swings would someone like me benefit from it? I hear it's cheap, what kinds of side effects are there? I don't mind being flatlined to be honest, it's better then being anxious.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:51:55 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36779-can-someone-tell-me-what-hypomania-is/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36766-checking-out-this-forum/
Yes, I am new and think I best belong to this forum. Diagnosed Bipolar 2, ll years ago, I have found that forums help me a lot.

Last day of Cymbalta was Monday the 15th. Last day of klonopin was Thursday the 11th. I just saw pdoc on Tuesday, he didnt do anything about me not sleeping well. He seems to think quitting the Cymbalta will fix everything. Im anxious, angry, and depressed.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:21:41 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36761-bad-bad-bad/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36757-bipolar-and-ptsd/
I did search for this question here on CB, but didn't find anything.

Thanks!]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:36:05 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36757-bipolar-and-ptsd/
