Caile,
> For the first time in my adult life, I'm actually able to make decisions and count on feeling the same way the next day and the next. Before, I could never make up my mind because I never knew what I would feel on any given day.
That is so funny that you say this because I am going through this exact thing right now. I have to make a very difficult decision and I'm having a hard time making it because I'm so used to changing my mind 5 million times. I guess we'll find out soon enough just how good the Trileptal is working. I made the decision today based on how I feel right now, but I still have up to two weeks to change my mind. We'll see how many times I do...
Side Note - Have you ever had to take a personality test? Wow, that's a trip! I always HATED taking those because I always wanted to scream at all the questions, "Well, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in!!" This was before I knew I had bipolar disorder - it was so frustrating. Actually, I took a test like that at an employment agency once and the company who does the scoring for it, called up the agency and asked to talk to me personally (which had never happened before). The scoring lady said she just wanted to talk to me and ask me some more questions because they had never had results like what came up for me. I've thought about that often since I was diagnosed, lol - I wonder what the heck the results WERE!!
> It trashed my relationships
Been there, done that! I've only had one relationship since I've been on meds and it was much better, but still don't know how much to attribute it to the meds vs him and his personality. I guess we'll find out soon enough when I start dating again.
> I used to drink daily
Been there, done that too : (
> My husband is thinking of trying Trileptal also but I wanted to know if others had the same reactions to it as I do
I've heard a lot of good things about it. So far, it's worked the best for me. I would normally be falling apart right now with the stress I'm going through. I hope it lasts!
