I’m not doing well.
Bouts of mania and depression.
I’m cycling faster than Lance Armstrong!

Up and down and all around!

I just finished seeing my psychiatrist.
She’s keeping me at 5mg of Risperdal and adding 500mg of Depakote to the mix.
Yep, here we go again.

Hoo, gotta watch that Depakote. Make sure you get your blood draws every month.

Thanks @anon42606141 but looks like I can’t function without Depakote.
I’m stuck with it for life :pensive:

I’m so sorry to hear this @Wave .

Have you ever read Mary Ellen Copeland’s workbook, “Winning Against Relapse”? I did and I took it very seriously and found it to be extremely helpful.

Copeland is a psychiatrist and she has bipolar as well so she is especially insightful and helpful.

Good luck my friend.
