Hey Donna,

I'm not good. But trying (as much as I can) to be okay. My moods are swinging wildly again and I'm VERY depressed. You didn't miss anything. Its just better that I'm not here anymore as CL. And as you can see, I think a lot of people agree with that. But that's okay, the board needs to be peaceful and right now, I'm not a very peaceful person.

Thanks for asking about me. That was nice to see. How are you doing?

Hugs and Love,
Keli

I was lucky enough to get chosen to have a very severe, treatment resistant case of Bipolar...very lucky, indeed. I rapid cycle, and my cycles go in hours, not days, weeks, or months. Since I first got dx'ed, three years ago, I've tried every single BP med there was. Nothing helped. Have been hospitalized 5 times. Finally got on Lithium, and it helped for a grand total of 3.5 months, maybe. With a few breakthrough episodes in between. Not major ones, but episodes nonetheless. This, however, for the last month, has been a major episode. Rapid cycling is back. No good mania this time though...Dark, bad mania...and TONS of depression. Its been very hard for me to maintain. But I've tried.

I called my pdoc this morning, and am waiting on her to call me back. I will NOT go back into the hospital though; not again.

Thanks for caring.

I'm glad you've figured out some triggers! That's awesome! It really really helps.

Hugs,
Keli

Thanks a lot, Donna. Jane (pdoc) hasn't called back yet, but she will before the end of the day. I am starting to feel a bit better. I just am SO exhausted. Need some sleep most of all, I think, and a new antidepressant. Won't switch mood stabilizers, period.

How are you doing today?

Keli - Hope Jane has called you back and you are starting to feel better soon. I want a new AD too. Pdoc said I could lower my dose to help with weight gain, but don't feel able to do that right now. Ugh.

Donna - Hope you are doing pretty good too.

Prozac for years and years...worked good
Zoloft (yuck)
Paxil (yuck)
Wellbutrin (1st time worked good, but higher dose and XL version)
Effexor (yuck!!!!!!!)
Lexapro (did nothing at all)
Cymbalta (LOVED this med, but it stopped working after a year)

Now, back on Wellbutrin SR 100 mgs again and its not touching my depression.

We'll see what we end up doing.

I WILL get some sleep tonight. I guarantee that much!

Hugs!!!
