Hi I have just joined this site,I want to know if anyone can give me advice on responsibility for taking meds. It is my biggest problem I feel well and then I start to reduce my intake get compleetely high and get into all the usual problems get drunk, take drugs become promiscuous black out and finally end up in hospital or a police cell. I need other peoples experiences and how they look after themselves to stay well instead of resenting there illness and like me neglecting myself. Look forward to hearing from anyone . Take care Michele
Shirlee b ~ are you on any other meds other than lithium? I ask cuzz I’m a rapid cycler and have yet to find anything that balances me out for more than a month. I take my meds faithfully and haven’t recognized any triggers and yet I recently plummented into a deep depression.
Therapist said it’s just a product of bipolar and there doesn’t need to be a particular trigger. Suggestions would help.
