imyourmonster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 just thought i'd say hello... i'm katie. i've been diagnosed with Bipolar II, most recent episode mixed. also, EDNOS. talk of BPD more than once over the years, but nothing official. i'm pretty sure the mixed state has been going for about a year now. i've been having really vivid dreams and nightmares (some reoccurring) since about the time i started really struggling again. over the years, i've been on just about everything, so i've been feeling a little hopeless about the medication situation lately. i'm currently taking Lamictal, 150mg twice a day, Neurontin 300mg three times a day, and just started on Zyprexa again. i've been taking 5mg of that for a couple weeks now, without any real results... suppose to make a big increase with it for a couple nights and then perhaps drop it back down. i've just been feeling a little lost lately, knowing that somehow my Bipolar has changed within the past couple of years, something i never realized could really happen up until then. anyway, sorry to ramble i just wanted to introduce myself...
