ScavengerType Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 New here, well obviously. Recently my family doctor suggested I may be suffering from Bipolar Disorder and put me on Topamax. Am going to see a pdoc for the first time on Thursday and am nervous as all hell. But kind of looking forward to getting something figured out as I've been struggling for a long time.

riesling Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Welcome to the boards! And good luck on Thursday -- that first appointment is always nerve-wracking but once it's done it usually gets better. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScavengerType Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks everyone! Just found out my appointment has been changed to August 10 because they didn't realize the doctor was on fucking holidays. Sometimes Universal Healthcare pisses me off although I'd be screwed without it. I hate this Topamax shit. I'm almost out aswell. I was hoping to get something else but now I'm gunna have to keep on it for 2 more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olga Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Welcome to our little home. I'm sorry that your appointment was postponed, but maybe you can use the time and do some research. There are lots of different opinions around here regarding drugs for bipolar, so educate yourself and you'll understand what the pdoc is talking about. Read the rules when you get a chance, and call on any of the mods if you have a question. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
