Thanks delna,
I have had a horrible weekend, am going to get the topamax today. I am scared because I am so tired of not knowing what is the meds and what is just me.. I guess. Also, if it doesn't work, I don't know how much longer I can do this. And that sounds soooooo selfish when I look at the years people on this board have been searching for the right med and haven't wimped out like me. My husband is a wonderful man, but he is skeptical. I really was functioning pretty well over the last few years, at least on the face of things. And the weight is big issue. I weigh over 100 lbs more than I did when we married, and he loves me, but I am pushing it. So I cannot even see using a typical mood stabilizer.
I am printing your post and will try lamactil before giving up.Thank you so much for responding.
I feel very alone, and even though a diagnosis with treatment that worked would be welcomed, not everyone wants to hear your new diagnosis....and if i do have any "manic" symptoms, sharing too much with people would be up there.
Thanks again for the shot of courage....
