I am sorry you are on the roller coaster. Hang in there! Have you made an appointment with your doctor. I know finding the right combo can be horrible, but I always thought the roller coaster was worse.

People's first reaction to anything that is perhaps to most people a "normal" emotion when experienced by someone with bipolar is to blame it all on the illness. People forget that we too can experience "normal" emotions and it isn't always the illness. BPisntwhoIam is right, finding the right regime can be horrendous, I'm still 3 years later trying to find the right combo but I know i'll get there as will you. Hang in there. Things will get better.

★210mg Lofepramine ★ 30mg Abilify ★ 300mg Lamictal ★ 50mg Phenergan ★ Thorazine 200mg ★

I'm sorry that your boyfriend suggested that your being angry is the biplar. That always makes me mad when my husband does that! I'm sorry that your mood and job search all have you down right now. I hope for better days ahead and in the meantime keep talking to us, we will listen.
