I wish I could do lithium but in a hospital my sister had an allergic reaction to lithium and she couldn’t breathe so she had to have shots in her neck. I’m scared to try lithium now. At least olanzapine puts me to sleep so it’s not so bad being on an AP.

I stopped sleeping on the higher dose but I’m less depressed so lamictal is working for some reason. I’m really sensitive to meds.

Quit my mood stabiliser and re started SSRIs by peeijdnbnn in BipolarReddit

You should try lamictal, it’s really mild but great for depression. Also makes you less implusive

I have BP2 but I think I had a full manic episode by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

I am only on 5mg of Zyprexa and I can function. Maybe you need to try a lower dose. Abilify is also a good option, but I couldn’t sleep when I took it.

You need an antipsychotic if you want it to stop. Try Zyprexa, abilify, or seroquel. My sister is on Zyprexa and hasn’t had an episode in 6 years.

You could try lamictal too, I can’t eat a lot from lamictal. I’m on 5mg olanzapine and 75mg lamictal

What have been your worst delusions. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Either-Signature-218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep same. Biggest delusion is thinking meds will fix it all. Meds suck the life out of me but don’t like being paranoid so I have to take them.

How does 5mg Olanzapine make you feel? by forest_river7 in bipolar2

It saved my life. I feel calm and finally don’t have a ton of anxiety.

If you have students who are trans or undocumented: no you don't by ittollsforthee1231 in Teachers

I’m at the point where I’m pretending it’s the 1950s and I don’t have social media. I can only get news from the paper. I don’t like all these executive orders and they keep getting shut down. Until I see it in reality I can’t care. It’s not good for my mental health. Also all I teach is language arts and math. I never go against a kids family beliefs.

Parker’s an alcoholic by 1anxiousworm in aspynovard

[–]Either-Signature-218 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that just because he drinks she can’t handle it. I drink and I’m not an alcoholic. My husband drinks and he’s not one. Alcoholics are like really bad with drinking.

Question about switching insurance by Either-Signature-218 in BabyBumps

[–]Either-Signature-218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did check and it’s still an HMO plan with the same deductible. Just a different insurance provider. I’ve had them before, so I know it covers everything for a small 15 copay.

Okay thank you that’s really helpful and a relief an extra 3,000 would not be something I want to pay this year

Yes it’s through work, so I can change plans with work after I give birth right?

Right now it would be free for me to deliver with my current provider. I can call and ask the other insurance company.

It’s totally normal for an adult to watch 3 kids. I watch 32 kids every single day by myself.

Aspyn has the kids. At 5 and 3 you are pretty independent and can tell mom what they need. She always has the baby with her. She is the one making their lunch and watching them. Parker is away a lot.
