[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 20089, member: 1697"] And Janna? may I say------you were one of he lucky ones? You were able to get the diagnosis sooner, and find medications that did work faster. I mean that in a positive way. From 1989 till 1999 they kept saying well yeah it LOOKS idetical to bpolar BUT children cannot have bipolar. and the medications? We hit 17 medications so many years ago, bypassed 17 medications.and were still going strong somewhere towards 30 or so medications...... when psychiatrist decided enough was enough. 100 extra pounds (APs) later combined with a full 6 inches shorter (stims) than the next shortest person in our family and blood pressure problems thru the roof from APs (irreversible) and Lupus like symptoms (also irreversale) from- I forget which medication it was? Tregetol, Trileptal? Seroquel? I do not remember. Yes, the symptoms of bipolar will stretch and try your patience and the treatment will stretch and try your patience. Hang in there. Someone here always posts "it is a marathon, not a sprint" and they are right. Pae yourself, and keep your eyes open and keep an open mind. The trial and error, hit or miss of the drugs is not always easy. ANd....well-----nevermind. I won't say what I was oing to say. Hang in there. This is notfor the weak of heart. [/QUOTE]
