I am not bipolar. I do not need warnings about talking to my doctor, or anything like that. I am writing a short story and just want to know how quickly someone who stopped taking their medication would feel the effects of that.

I am in Chicago, in my 20s, unable to work because of the bad economy though I have a degree. So I can’t afford my bipolar medication. This has led me to relapse. I also don’t have a place to live. Is there a program out there that has free/reduced medication, therapy, housing? Anyone? Any help is appreciated.

How did it turn out for you?

I believe I have been misdiagnosed and want to stop my meds.

My husband is on over 6 different medication related to his bipolar disease. These medications are causing several other serious medical problems. How can I find a doctor that knows what he is doing? Or is willing to do the S.C.O.P.E. proceedure?

so if you’re taking to different kinds of pills, (not exactly sure what, but just two of the general ones for treating it) how much would the cost be per day, week, month, year? and if you have to go to therapy every week how much would that be per hour/week if you went for one hour?

I am considering taking medication I am bipolar, suffer from anxiety, and OCD. But how will medication help? Whats the best to take or stay away from? What are some possible side effects? Will I even feel better?

I was diagnosed with bipolar roughly a month ago, and now my unit informed me that they will start the chapter process for discharge. Will I be eligible to get my medication from the VA after my discharge has occurred? I have 18 months in.

Ever since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (I have bipolar ii, but I’m not quite sure whether or not I believe the diagnosis) I have been on medication for it in increasing doses. My psyciatrist said that the only side affect is a rash that you get if you increase dosage too fast.

Ever since the diagnosis, I feel like I’ve been far moodier than normal (I really don’t generally consider myself a moody person).

My dog is sweet but aggressive.You can be petting him and he can just turn around and bite you. And he will attack any stranger that comes into the house [as well as the possibility of biting any of the family members.
He is very small [chihuahua/daschund mix] but has a big bite.
we are starting to think he is bipolar or has some other sort of problem. is there medication for this kind of stuff? or a solution?
