I'm just venting here. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, my meds. I have gained a lot of weight since Abilify. My hair has started to fall out, my acne is sooo much worse, I have light sensitivity because of the divalproex. And because of the adverse side effects to fetuses I'm terrified of getting pregnant and have already had a skipped month and a half of my period, with breast tenderness and morning sickness followed by very painful cramps and what I am not sure was a miscarrage or was just a bad period. I took two pregnancy tests a week apart, so I'm thinking it was just a sympathetic pregnancy that I psyched myself into. Anyway I am not a happy camper. Though I do have a little bit of hope. My Dr has said that I can try to treat my bipolar disorder with a gluten free diet and exercise and natural supplements from a health store without the medication to see if I can manage it that way and I get to start stepping down my pills in august. I'm praying that it will work, but am ultimately afraid that going gluten free will not help anything.
If u need to talk let me know
Thank you. And hi. You know some of whats on my mind. How are you doing?
Hi, have bipolar. I have been on a lot of differnt meds. I have had so many problems. LOTs... I know every ones body is differnt but Latuda has worked for me. Got the bipolar under control finally, I have not had weight gain. Good mood feel very clear. My doctor said I can even get pregnate in it that it is low risk for the baby. I don't know, that's what she said. I am going to try to get pregnate in 6 months to a year. Good luck and those meds. Can do so much as in side effects. :) good luck!
@Aceland Thank you so much for sharing that!! If the gluten free thing doesn’t work for me and I end up having to go back on meds I’m going to ask about Latuda.
I gained 50 pounds and get blurred vision headaches and tiredness but not sleep like
