I was diagnosed after being hospitalized last summer. I’ve tried a few different meds, but none of them “felt like they worked.”
I haven’t taken any or seen the doctor in a few months, not really intentionally I just didn’t make an appointment and convinced myself I was OK!
I’m starting to think that I should go back on them though… This isn’t the first time I stopped them either, so I hate to keep crawling back after stopping them…
Needing to make an appointment every month and stick with it is unreasonable, lol, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do that consistently every month!
Anyways, how many times did you think you were cured and stop taking meds? If you have meds that work well, how could you tell?
Not a single time. I know my dad’s family case, his sister was disabled by the illness, his father died from a vascular problem probably aggravated by his crisis. My dad used antipsychotics his entire life. All undiagnosed, their were just treated with anti-psicotics If really think there is a cure for bipolar you just read the half of story
I’m just glad that I discovered the illness before I killed myself, I’m also glad that I can do the treatment. This illness is not fair, but is not fair to ppl that like you to see you away of yourself.
