Many of us being treated for Bipolar Disorder needs to take more than one type of medication to provide a balance during the course of our treatment.   Many use the term “ cocktail ” to describe the process.
My prescribing doctors have yet to tell me what not to take along with the “ cocktail ” of meds that are prescribed for me.   It’s not until I am under the bus that I hear: “ Oh that is a depressant or tsk tsk tsk, that’s a stimulant. Can you eliminate that?   I had to stop taking a form of chemotherapy, to slow the progression and deformity process of a disease I have.   The attending physician for that disease in so many words told me to “ pick my poison” –   decide what I want to treat.
Candee was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a little over 10 years ago. Long before that, she tried to tell anyone who would listen, that something in her brain wasn't wired right. Her parents said she was being dramatic; her siblings got a kick out of her being the family clown, bouncing guadaim off the walls; her friends, emphatically said: "Oh no girlfriend, you don't fix that, you ride it like the wind!" So she did....then BAM! Out of the blue, she ran into what felt like a wall of nails. Awaiting her was a nasty bout of depression crippling her for a long time. After finding the right treatment things slowed down a bit and she s back on her feet...in a relative sense. There are no "typical days" for a BP warrior - it's a lazy river or a tightrope. She is somewhat grounded by her husband of 26 years, her teenaged daughter and her Shetland guadaim Sheepdog. Oh, and the other "elephant in the room:" Rheumatoid Arthritis. Stay tuned.
