Dh was diagnosed bipolar II this past Thursday (put on Lamictal). I've been diagnosed since December 2004. 8 y/o dd (Becky) was diagnosed Mood Disorder NOS the past September (put on Abilify). And my 5 y/o ds is showing signs of moodiness, loong periods of sulking, and a short fuse. He's doing well in school, so we're letting that pot simmer.
But I fear the whole family's got problems, or perhaps it just looks that way from my perspective. *sigh*
On the upside, Becky is responding well to Abilify. She still seems to have major depressive dips in the evening, but her school work has improved dramatically and she's much more obedient to her parents.
As for me, I actually reached baseline this morning (though I'm a bit down tonight). I see my PDoc Monday Morning. I need to ask him about the phyical keyed up-ness I feel--especially in the evening. I suppect it's a side effect (although I guess it could be just a symptom of the BP.


Hey hon! I soooo know how you feel. I just spent the weekend with my BP (unmedicated) alocholic brother, and omg. My ds is doing better, thankfully.
Just hang in there...I know how rough all this can be. I'm glad you're back at baseline. Be thankful. :)
Love and Hugs,
