Hi my name is Kim and I was diagnosed with Bipolar about a year and half ago, and I'm still trying to find a doctor who I feel comfortable with and who will listen. I have so many questions, but don't know where to get the answers. Its hard to talk to my spouse because he really doesn't understand. I feel like hes always hiding things from me, and he always tells me that I make things up.. I consume myself with this and I was wondering if paronia is connected with bipolar? I'm only taking Zoloft right now and know that I need more. If you have any suggestions please give me some advise it would really be appreciated.

Hi there. Sorry to hear you are going through this crap. I would think that your doctor would also have you on some sort of mood stabilizer if you are bipolar. I take lamictal and I don't have any side effects from it. I was on lithium but it made me very clutzy, and I kept falling and getting hurt. Before I went on the lamictal, I had a couple of hallucinations--that had never happened to me before. Once I was on the lamictal, they went away. It really freaked me out. I'm not totally well, but I feel the mood stabilizer does help. Now it's mostly sadness, depression for me. I'm hoping the summer will help. Hope this helps you a little. Good luck,
