idiopathy Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm 34, live with my parents, been severely bipolar since - officially - my late teens. I also had (have) a substantial substance abuse problem, mostly heroin IV. I have no clue how many times I've been hospitalized; at least 50, maybe more. Same with rehabs, in and outpatient. My diagnosis is severe bipolar, with psychotic features, and rapid cycling. I take litihium, alprazolam, focalin (oh, ADHD, too), temazepam, gabapentin, and synthroid. I'm starting saphris on monday. well, that's about it. hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
