Thanks for everything you've been doing for me girl!! My pdoc said okie on going back on the depakote and then we'll discuss different meds on the 13th. She said I could apply for the ativan case study but I politely declined :) Wonder why...... haha Chase went to the doc today and was offically dxed as bipolar. YAY! Two under one roof! I'll call you soon :)

Hey Bren!

I'm glad Chase finally got the dx. Not that I'm glad he is BP, but you know what I mean. Try to call tonight if you can...my mood is cycling and I'm so freaking pissed about it...going down, of course...i was going up and up and i knew this was going to happen...i'm fighting it like hell right now, but i'm sick with some stupid sinus thing, and having side affects from Risperdal that aren't fun, and I'm just pissed!

Anyway, I'll be fine...I just hate it so much...ya know? I did NOT ask to be a freaking ultra rapid cycler...nope! Whoever decided that it might be fun for me??? LOL.

I'm glad pdoc said you could take the Depakote again and then talk about new meds later on in the month.

I'm so broke already and its only the 5th of the month. I just had to pay a $542 utility bill. OMG. I hate being broke too. I didn't even spend anything crazy. We did spend too much on eating out, and at the grocery store with here and there trips instead of getting real groceries...but oh well.

Talk to you soon.

Love you.

Hey Bren!

I do feel better today. My moods cycle so fast sometimes even I can't keep up with them! But, I started feeling better again around 4:45 yesterday afternoon. WEIRD! My side affect situation was remedied last night too...I didn't sleep much last night, but it was pretty much on purpose...sometimes if I get tooooo much sleep, I get depressed...so I staye up til 12:30 or 1:00...I get up at 6:00...but I feel so much better this morning even. Thank God. I was pretty upset about going back the other way.

I know the feeling about Chase...we went through that from age 3, when Mike started his rages, until well still! LOL...he did calm down when he was on ADHD meds and Clonidine. But he only stayed on them 5 years...seemed to adjust to it all on his own when he hit the summer after 5th grade. He started meds in Kindergarten. He's done fine until about a year or so ago...now he's about to work my LAST nerve and not doing well in school, so I told him in 3 weeks when he gets his report card, if its bad, he is going to his pdoc and we're getting on ADHD meds. I don't think I want him on BP meds right now, but I will let his pdoc dx and rx. I'm NOT a child psychiatrist, so I can't make that call. I have talked to my pdoc about it some and she said it SOUNDS like BP, but that his ADHD being so severe, and BP are basically identical in some ways...so its very hard to dx.

Anyway, I don't feel like starting to work yet, so I could go on and on, but I won't! I'll talk to you tonight. I have to take Mike to get a hair cut, so I won't be home til after 6:30. xoxo

Love you
