Who is here? Several people aren't posting, and I just BET you are lurking!

Post an update of how you're doing, if you want to!

Love and Hugs,

Keli

I'm here, from over in Oakville, ON. I have a lot of outside stressors- I got married in June, and my life has changed a lot. More change is coming, too- I am going back to school in January, when I will have to move away from DH for a bit. We are also planning a church wedding, the last one was just so I could get immigration. I've been exhausted at everything and kind of depressed...I see the pdoc in the states tomorrow, though.

Express!

I'm here! And going on 2 weeks stable!!!!!! Happy Dance! Depakote has literally saved my life. I was a lot worse off than I let on a few weeks ago.


Still worried that the effects won't last. I've been "here" before only to crash. Tdoc told me last night that she doesn't see that happening this time. I don't know if she's just being optimistic and trying to get me to be or if she has an inside track that I don't. So, for right now I'm enjoying the ride and praying it doesn't end.


((((((((((Susan & Beth)))))))))))) hugs to you both! Talk to us, vent it out. We're here and will listen. We care! You are not alone here ladies.


Hugs & Love,

Depakote (Epival here) was also good for me. But still, I am currently coming off it. Am I crazy you ask? Yes i guess I am. We weren't sure that it was doing anything until I started to come off it, now I know, but I still don't want to stop the decrease. The weight and acne were really getting to me and I hope that I can fix that if I come off meds.


2 months ago we first started coming off it and Lithium was a possibility and one month ago she suggested Lamictal, so I don't know what it's going to be. Hopefully nothing for a while and I can get this stuff straightened out. If it isn't the meds that's causing it though then it will be all for nothing and I might as well have stayed on the epival. I'm sure it won't work as well a second time if I have to go back on it.


Ah well.


There's more to update, but I'll leave it at that for now.

(((((((((Amanda)))))))))) I hope they find the right med for you. Lamictal is working well with my DD. Pdoc tried me on that way back at the beginning, but I was one of the few that got the rash. Then he tried a host of others and well, we wound up back at the beginning with the depakote. So, I will hope that the lamictal works for you. It's been a saving grace for my dd! Lithium works well for a lot of people too. So, I am confident you will find the right med!


Will talk to you soon:)
