Hi there! I am new here. I am 39 years old and have been living with bipolar disorder for almost 20 years. I am currently taking Seroquel, Wellbutrin XL, Lexapro and Ativan for anxiety. I have been hospitalized 4 times. Usually when my meds. stop working and I need a change in meds.
I have a very supportive husband of almost 18 years. Right now it is 2:40am and I am still awake because I am out of my seroquel. I know - my bad. I waited too long to call my Psychiatrist for a refill. I hate how I have to depend on the seroquel for sleep and I will probably be as manic as anything tomorrow!
Just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to getting and giving support and advice!


Darlene..It's nice to see that you have joined us at bpc. There are lots of good people here - it's a great way for bipolars to expand their support system. I've been somewhat active on this site for about a year.
I hope you get your meds straightened out. If I miss a dose or two, it really affects my stability. It's the last thing I need in my efforts to stay well. It's always best to plan ahead for those refills so we don't get into trouble.
Glad to hear that your husband is supportive - it's so important that we have a good support system. Thanks for sharing.
Judy
