Q: What are the cheapest meds for bipolar?
Apart from lithium. And no depakote either.
Is there ANYTHING else out there that won’t break the bank?
Lamictal is just sooo expensive.
Thanks! I’m desperate…
Hardy-ha-ha-ha-harrr. I’m not interested in becoming an alcoholic to those of you who suggested it.
This is a serious question.
A: Try canadadrugs.com
If you’ve got a prescription, it’s totally safe and legal. And a lot cheaper. I am assuming you do not have insurance.
Q: how do i get a good night sleep?
for the past week or so i haven’t had a good night sleep
i go to bed at midnight and dont fall asleep or if i do it’s only for a few hours
i stay up worrying all night
I used to be on so many medications (zoloft, lamictal, oxycodone, vicodin, klonipin) and I’d sleep like a baby. Once I got off the pain meds even suboxone, ,and klonipin, sleep has never been the same.
I try benedryl but it doesn’t work. My shrink said he’d give me something for sleep but I don’t see him for two weeks. What’s a good cheap sleep med? I think i”m going crazy.
A: Try melatonin (pharmacy) short term. Exercise, preferably 6 hours before, but not within 2 hours of bedtime. Have a warm bath, or shower, an hour before bedtime, then a glass of very warm milk, possibly with Horlicks, or one of the herbal teas, below, and use dimmer lighting. Your bedroom should be very dark, with the lights out, and a good sleeping temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 19 degrees Centigrade. Put your mind in a position where it wants to shut itself off, and sleep. View http://www.umm.edu/sleep/relax_tech.htm The progressive muscle relaxation, http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing is very easily learned; guided imagery, or mindfulness breathing http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody… is known to be effective, or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate Give the EFT a tryout. It is free via the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com “EFT” & “EFT therapists”. Repeat to yourself: “Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself.” (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure massage/tapping. Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set “wind down” routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your subconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep.
The idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques. Avoid TV, computer, or anything exciting in this hour, although reading a BORING! book is a good idea. Experiment, to find which combination works best for you. No coffee, tea, or other caffeine within 6 hrs of bedtime! Try a cup of chamomile herbal tea, an hour before bedtime. Others may prefer Sleepytime, by Celestial Seasonings, Relax, Be Sleepy, or valerian root (valerian “hangovers” possible), etc., from supermarket tea, or health food aisles. Milk, or cream should not be used with herbal tea. Get up and do something, like read a book, if you can’t sleep within 20 mns. Personally, I prefer to use word/phrase repetition for a short time, changing over to mindfulness breathing; however, you may well find another method more effective. The following EMDR variant came from a book on treating insomnia for the depressed; I use it every night, and it is well worth trying. It seems to reduce distractions during the mindfulness relaxation methods, so I use it first. Keeping your head still, move your eyes first to the far left, then far right, and repeat this another 19 times. Each full sweep should take around a second. If you like, you can either subvocalise, or repeat: “one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand … up to twenty.
After this, allow your body to go limp, and relax for a short time. Then repeat the whole exercise, limpness, and relaxation twice. This may well be all you need. Others may require another round of the above. Before beginning the EMDR variant, I take a whiff of lavender essential oil in both nostrils; some people prefer a drop, or two on their pillow. This provides a strong cue to the subconscious mind to prepare for sleep. Most people are suggestible, to some extent, so consider professional hypnotherapy, or more alternatives along such lines are at http://your-mental-health.8m.com/blank_25.html
Q: Question about Bipolar Dating….need help please!!!!!?
Hi….I am a 25 year old lesbian and I have a girlfriend who is 28….we’ve been dating for a little over 4 years. She has Bipolar….and I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), ADHD, Anxiety, and a Mood Disorder. I am taking meds and going to therapy twice a month and see my psychiatrist once a month. Well let me start by saying my girlfriend is spoiled, very spoiled by her dad, and does not get along with her mom very good at all. We live with my mom, cuz it’s cheaper for us and she looks at my mom as more of a mom. And I have so much to say but I cant fit it all in here…..but it boils down to this….she gets very bad bipolar a lot and has episodes…..was on Welbutrin and it made her worse….is on lamictal now and said it helped for a while and now is saying doesn’t help her. She likes to always be right and have me or anyone for that matter kiss her as* (she has come right out and said she wants me to pretty much be perfect and kiss her as*)….I am not perfect. She expects
no fights at all….and thinks everyone is picking at her no matter what, she can not take criticism. Also she has a bad case of grandiosity. Anways, she left me a while ago for 2 months cuz she said she didn’t like the way I treated her, which I know I did some wrong, but she has to just wont admit it, it’s always all about what I do wrong. That was hell and finally got her to come back. I did change some of my ways, she didn’t like, and she didn’t really give me much credit for it, even though she did give me some. I always told her I didnt think she was a lesbian cuz guys always checked her out (she was very femme) and that made her upset and she wanted to prove that to me when she was gone by hanging out with a butch lesbian, whom she kissed twice, she said she also wanted to make me jealous. She expects me to be perfect and thinks being a couple we will never have fights……which we do, last few weeks a lot. It is mainly due to her friends and how she has been acting….
other fights we have is about money issues and bills (which all couples have at some point time or another)….and other stupid things neither of us should be fighting about. The thing with her friends is at first I did not understand and recently have given into her about her having friends ( I am a only child and have been interverted all my life) , well it’s not her having friends, it’s the kind of friends she picks out….and she says she doesn’t want those kind of friends but nonetheless she settles for what she can get at the time. Plus this is where the case of the Grandiosity comes into play….she doesn’t seem like she wants to be there for me a lot of times but is at her friends beckon call when they text her or call her over things she cant fix for them. Well since she has been back she has been very secretive with her cell phone (which she never was before she left)…..she erases texts and phone calls, lies to me about who she calls or when, and also is paranoid and grabby
if I try to pick up her phone. So me being human like I am….I checked on the cell phone bill,,,,,,caught her in lies….but she still argues with me about them. She admitted she would be curious and mad if I acted like that. Also she said she doesn’t like str8 guys not even as friends always….and that is how I feel. Well she had this kid in her training class at work she helps….which is fine I dont care if she helps him at work….but she said he acts feminine and they got things in common (like girls and star wars)….well I didn’t like the sounds of it , so I know its wrong, but I called her bisexual quite a bit lately and she said that hurts her feelings. I have also called her bit**, whore, and slut several times, but I don’t mean them and dont think before I say those things and always apologize to her and feel bad right afterwards ( part of my problems)…..well she said I took it the wrong way…she said she doesn’t want to be his friend after we argues for a week….
that she just wanted to help him at work cuz he was one of her training kids……but she forced me to meet him and two other guys from her class at a restaurant…..to show me nothing was going on between them two. Well I was still a little leary and said things sometimes…..but she kept reassuring me. Well the other night she said she was leaving to get me a present out of town and she stayed gone all night at her friend from work (which is a girl, str8) cuz she said she was sad and wanted to be there for her, whilst pretty much ignoring me. Well she end up staying gone all night, and used the excuse she feel asleep over there. Which is hard for to believe when you are talking that you are just gonna fall asleep. But I forgave her……she has forgiven me for things and she has called me names when she gets mad at me before and swears at me. The one thing I said to her a couple weeks ago cuz I was extremely upset about this guy thing, is I hope she got raped! and please dont think I
am a monster, cuz i am really am not, i have never said anything like that to her and I apologized immediately. I said it before I thought and it just came out. I didnt even want to say it. I also have grabbed her neck before a few times (but never tried to choke her) and I am not saying that is right and I dont do it all the time. She has pulled my hair, dug her nails into me, and slapped me quite a few times before and also has bite me. Really for the most part, even though it doesnt sound like it from this story, but we get along for the most part. I think she is a blessing from God, and we both have helped each other in our own ways. I love her with all my heart and have put up with a lot of her quirks but it is always all my fault. She is never to blame and cannot take criticism. Well we went out today and everything was fine except for a little tiff early on about banking issues……then she was getting text messages from her friend (the girl ) and she was being secretive and
lied and said she didnt get a second one when I seen she did off the corner of her cell phone screen. She held her phone sideways (where I couldnt see the screen and obviously erased it, then she let me see her phone) she left the first text on there from her but not the second……so I got voicetrous (which she cannot even handle that) and asked her to stop lying to me and tell me what was going on and why she is acting like this. Well we got home (cuz we were in the car still when all this was happening) and told me she didnt want to be with me anymore, that she was leaving again, cuz of how I have been treating her again. Mind you that I changed basically everything she wanted me to the first time, and I have gotten better about a lot of things she didnt like. I even came around about her friends thing. But yet, I am still the monster and I am still to blame. She also is very stressed about her job and I think takes that out on me with whats going on with us at the time. So she
left after about an hour or screaming and crying and trying to tell her how much I love her. But she just completely flipped just like that (after telling me she would never leave me again) and I dont know what happened, she flipped cuz of the text message thing and then wonders why I question her or dont trust her about it. My question is, do you have any advice for going through this type of situation, is some of the things she is doing and how shes acting, normal? Please help, I need any advice….please dont be rude about it and say forget about her cuz I do love her from the bottom of my heart and would do anything for her. But she expects me to be perfect and out of a fairy tale and as much as I’d like to, I am not…..nobody is. Also what should I do….she has called or texted me since she left about 7 hours ago…..should I wait for her to get ahold of me (even if that isnt for a couple days) ? or should I say something to her? PLEASE HELP! 
A: I’ll tell you what you will hear from any psychiatrist……leave her or it will be your death. Life will move on and you will find another. If you stay with her you will be pounded to a pulp and then no one will be able to fix you. I know it will be hard (it shouldn’t be because of what she is) but eventually you will recover. I am an older person who has been through a great deal of this sort of stuff during my lifetime however I can tell you without qualification that each time I made a decision to do something that was very difficult eventually I was not sorry for my decision. I am probably still alive today because I ran away from difficult situations that I knew I could not win. Yours is a tale of woe and your story will be a tragedy if you do not leave once and for all. Please take my advice while you are still young.

A: Let her go, seriously. I know it’s going to be difficult, but you need to let her go. Whatever she’s doing it’s a scare tactic on her behalf.
My partner’s ex-partner lives with us. She’s schizophrenic and it’s a nightmare living with her, but I won’t tolerate her scare tactics when she threatens to fly off the handle at me. And I certainly don’t pander to her needs as if she’s a child. Sounds like your girlfriend needs to grow up and see she’s not the only person in this relationship.
Don’t let her bully you, either. You’re a good person, you didn’t ask for this.
