treatment bipolar i
Has anyone had lasting success on bipolar meds?
I am researching my options about bipolar treatment. I am currently seeing a naturopathic doc but wanted to see if people had luck with regular meds. If you’ve had success that lasts, can you please share it with me? Also side effects would be much appreciated as well. Thank you
I would appreciate answers from people with personal experience. Side-liners please
I am bp1. Been diagnosed for 15 years. I have had great periods (long) of stability on meds. Lithium is especially effective for me. Side effects are not great. My hands shake and my balance is off plus monthly blood tests but it is better than the alternative. There are many medications out there now that are effective. I have also found that responsibility helps me. When I don’t have anything that I have to do then I don’t do anything. If I have responsibilities, places to go, a job, taking care of my kids, I do much better. Hope this helps and good luck.
