In reply to I know I've asked before but... what type Bipolar?, posted by D minor on April 22, 2005, at 23:16:06
Hi:
It's VERY HARD to say which/what type of Bipolar you have. However, if the med. combo. has a GOOD effect on your condition, ... then you have Bipolar.Besides this fact, it takes 'time' to get/feel better even on the RIGHT med. combo. In my 'own' analyzation on this, ... probably our 'whole' chemical system in the brain needs 'time' to adjust any 'foreign substances'/psycho. meds. In my case, it takes almost three to four years to get 'fully' effect. It's quite a 'long' time, ... but this is 'common' fact among Bper's. You can read others' experience which has 'similar' characteristics to yours. Unless a very milder form of Bipolar without any complications, it takes at least a year to get 'full' effect even on a right med. combo. Rapid cycler and mixed state are both regarded one of 'serious' form of Bipolar. Included Bipolar with psychotic feature.
Then, in my suggestion through the experience along with the reading/hearing, you need a 'GOOD' patience along with 'faith' on your own med. regimen rx'ed by your pdoc.
