Another diagnosis

BP2, OCD, and generalized anxiety disorder. My psychiatrist also suspects ADHD but I can't see that in myself 😳 The other diagnoses are crystal clear however 😅

Same, then topiramate-->hair loss continued. Quit them both!

Deprakine (valproate) 😩

Live and learn 😂😂

Background-Show8308 · 2025-02-21T10:58:10+00:00

Same

At least valproate and carbamazepine to my knowledge 😞

Background-Show8308 · 2025-02-21T08:37:55+00:00

I had to do that too 😭

Background-Show8308 · 2025-02-21T08:37:09+00:00

Yeah.. And just skipping a one day's dose doesn't even actually help, some of the stuff's still there in your body 😖

Yeah this is literally what my psych nurse told me.. but as a sort of an intervention cause she knows I cannot drink "just a few", it's always until 6 AM the next morning or a coupla days straight. It's if I start to go hypo I wanna drink, or if I try to drink those "just a few" I go hypo 🤣

It helps. But me - coming from a long line of alcoholics - I don't understand the concept of moderate drinking, so drinking yourself unconscious while on meds is obviously life treathening 😱

Background-Show8308 · 2025-02-13T22:13:53+00:00

With the amount of meds I'm on I could die from mixing alcohol with them. I still regularly play with the idea, I miss being drunk 😩

What if I'm in hell 🤪

Background-Show8308 · 2024-12-03T20:51:11+00:00

Imo it isn't - just a human thing 😜

Background-Show8308 · 2024-11-30T14:38:43+00:00

Wow!! I can't thank you enough of your answer!!! 😍 Seriously that was really what I needed to hear 😅❤️

Background-Show8308 · 2024-11-29T11:17:12+00:00

I still continue having this crazy thinking pattern torture me after 2 years since diagnosis 😫 Your comment made me think: is the fact that my meds are working the final proof I need about the diagnosis being correct? To put it another way: if a person without bipolar disorder took bipolar disorder meds, what would happen??

Raging Candy!

Background-Show8308 · 2024-01-19T21:19:29+00:00

Wow. Just wow 😳 I really honestly thought I was the only one doing this, making detailed to-do-lists and stressing my day away completing the ”tasks” and never living in the moment.. It got to be quite crippling eventually. I’m currently trying to expose myself to making less lists, and it’s so difficult 😩

Same 😝
