Ive struggled with it since about 18.... Im 35 now and Ill say its been a battle for sure. I have took every kind of meds known to man and I was in 2 different hospitals just last year. I take several different medications now including Lithium and it seems to be working ok for now.. I dont tell alotta people cause they wanna judge or think your crazy. When I go into a manic state I just dont come outta the house and dont talk to anyone and sometimes it might be 2 weeks before I get back to "my normal". Good luck and be sure and let Your Drs know of any changes you have.
I take Lithium 3 times a day and it dosent make me emotionless.... I also take Zyprexa another mood leveler along with it. All people are different. Sometimes you have to try alotta meds to find out what works for you.
Im doing all that but I need to pass a "test" by Monday???
