Pangurban Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 haroooo! I'm new to these boards but am an old hand at the crazy and crazy meds. i used to post on another forum, but just kid of dwindled. Have just returned from appt with psychiatrist (pdoc?) who is starting me on a new drug, agomelatine. Have been doing some reading and I'm all excited!! my dx is bipolar 2 and I've been on the merry-go-round of medication since I was 17. I'm 34 and still here, still hoping each new drug will help. I'm just at the end of a relationship with a great guy, but like my other relationships, the lack of libido coupled with the hypomania and psychosis conspired to make things really difficult and he's gone. Don't really blame him. Imagine my excitment when I read that this drug claims not to squash your libido?? I do have one question though...Am I hopeful because a) I never learn and it'll all end in whiskey. Tom Waits and tears, or b) because despite this mountain of crap.....I' an optimist???

hallowedink Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hey, welcome to CB. In response to your question - I don't think it's a matter of you never learning. After all, each drug does something different. So optimism is definitely the way forward. I hope this one works out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Optimism can keep you going when you are getting discouraged about all the meds and other treatments. Welcome to Crazyboards and I hope you like it here. Be sure to read the rules. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
