Hey Zippy, Yep, I have the same pairing. It is a really winning combination! The two things definately conflict with eachother. I had to stop all drug treatment, basically because there were just too many weird symtpoms and side affects that seemed to be the Lyme reacting to the bipolar drugs, or the bipolar reacting to the Lyme drugs. Anyway, I have had to go the much harder route, and try to manage both my bipolar and my Lyme disese with very strict diet and LOTS of boundaries and limitations that keep me from over stressing or becoming over stimulated. It is either this, or spend a whopping amount of time, money, and energy trying to figure out just the right drug combination that does not make me sicker and weirder in the long run. I feel for you, and wish you the best, and I pray that you can find the right balance in your life. That is the key word - BALANCE!

All I have to offer is my experience, support, and prayers based on what I have learned in my recovery. I am not a physician. |
