dont know where to go .. pos trigs
| Fri, 09-08-2006 - 5:18pm |
well I have had all I can take. I am tired of being fat and tired of taking medicine for something that my medical doc says I have.tired of people who say that they care about you but yet can dont give a rat's butt if you live or die. I have gone off my risperdal and starting tomorrow I am going off of my Cymbalta, it doesnt work for my depression.
Mary

anyway..take a few days & think about it.i'm in the process of finding a new pdoc so i'm subsisting on what i have left & not even sure i want to find a new doc at all.the only thing i liked about the old one is that he is so designer that he will do anything to keep someone from getting fat(hence my adderoll)too bad i started to see him after the fact.
other than that it was just another grave disappointment.
please know i'm with you & going thru i think the same thing.
Mary,
I know how you feel. I've been bipolar since I was 14 years old. I have my ups and downs. Times I want to give up...end up in a hospital, not fun!! But somehow I pull through, I don't know how, but I do.
Sometimes it is better to change doctors and get a different perspective on things. How long since you were diagnosed and how long have you been on meds?? Sometimes it takes a while to find the right kind of meds and no doctor can tell you how you are going to react. It is important to have communications with you doc.
I have been on meds that have caused me to gain a lot of weight and some that has caused a lot of weight loss. Now, I stay about the same since I have found the right drugs. These drugs might work for a long time or not. But my doctor will always find the right combo for me and I level out. Don't get me wrong, I do ride the bipolar express but I can tell when I need to step back and care for myself. You can to.
Anyway, hang in there. We all have our ups and downs...but somehow we survive. The medical community finds new things every day so there is always hope.
Take care of yourself and let me know how you're doing.

Oh Darling,
Have I been where you are.
Love,
((((((((Mary))))))) I'm sorry I didn't get this until now. I hope you are doing better today than you were yesterday when you wrote this post. What everyone else has said is true. THis disease is all about ups and downs and it's unnerving at best when our meds are off because we cycle more frequently.
Like Jamie said you really should have, if you don't already, a pdoc. Regular docs have some knowledge of bipolar, but not as in depth as pdocs. Pdocs have a better chance of getting you on the right combination of meds to control your moods.
Please post and let us know how you are doing. You may think people don't care, but I can assure you that those of us on this board do care. And we want you to be safe.
Hugs,
Traci
Mary!!! I just now got this, so sorry! I have done this BP thing for YEARS too, and I'm so sick of it myself. However, I am stable right now...it took adding Risperdal back into my cocktail though...it does cause me a bit of weight isues, but at this point, I'm so sick of being sick and crazy, that I'll try to deal with it.
Did you ever talk to your pdoc about changing to some other meds that might work better for you?
Check in this morning please. Okay?
Love you,
Keli
Hey Mary,

God bless you and much, much love,
