hi there. my name is doreen. my life has been an interesting ride; when i was first diagnosed bp i began to read about it-i then started to understand why i never felt like i 'fit in'!! not that i had an excuse for all the things that went on in my life (i'm sure many of you and your manic moments can relate :-), but at least i had an understanding of why i did the things i did.

i've had a number of meds over the years-was dx w/ depression for many yrs before being dx w/ bp about 3 yrs ago (i'm 38 now). currently i take in the morning: 150 mg effexor, 50mg topamax, 50mg seroquel; afternoon: 50mg topamax, 50mg seroquel; nighttime: 200mg topamax, 500 seroquel; also on synthroid for hypothyroid and about to be on crestor for cholestorol :-(.

i'm open to questions on life, meds or whatever. my response won't be immediate as i'm getting used to getting up at 6 am to get my 4 yr old dd off to school-and i'm not getting used to it quickly!!!

have a great day and/or night
doreen
