Porcelaon,
My version of bipolar is not that common. I am manic and depressed 5-8 times every day and I have been labeled as ulradian by some. It's quite hard to deal with but i do well in spite of this.

I have tried a whole lot of meds over the years, 12 of them not counting antidepressants. Lithium was the only one that did anything, and as well, was the only one that did not produce adverse reactions. I have tried without twice in the last 20 years and both times I nearly lost everything including my friends and family.

Hey, how are you? I don't know how to send messages on here but I noticed your post on lindahurts page right before mine and if you're ok with it, I just have a few questions about bipolar and lithium. If not that's ok too :).

Linda,
I just got back from a discussion about how I felt about being diagnosed with bipolar I. That was the first day of the rest of my life.

Every time I feel overwhelmed now I just remember my former life.
