suburbanhell Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi. I'm glad I found this site. I'm a 40 yo wife and mother with bipolar I and PTSD. Maybe borderline. For years I was treated for treatment resistent depression, but now the doctor says I'm bipolar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunaRufina Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey suburban [i hope it's ok if I just use that?] I just wanted to say hi and welcome. I know side effects can be really rough sometimes. Often they tend to diminish or go away after some time if you can manage to put up with them for a while. What kinds of side effects are you experiencing? It's possible someone might be able to give you some advice about how to deal with them or ease them somewhat. Just try to stick with the meds for a few weeks- long enough to see if they are actually working and doing some good. But then again, if the side effects are so bad they are interfering with your functioning and overall quality of life, you might want to speak to your doctor. I know my lithium makes me nauseous, but it's not to the point where I'm vomiting or I'm nauseous throughout the day, so it's not horrible. On the other hand, it hasn't gone away, so it's kind of annoying. Like olga said, if you need anything at all, feel free to pm one of the mods. When you get a chance, check out the chat room and/or the blogs [maybe start up your own? ] Hope you find some friendly words here. Luna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
