hey Judy, thanks for your message I am not sure if I am bipolar 1 or 2. my hospital chart said bipolar mixed typed when I tried committing suicide. This runs in the family as my grandfather had it and my mother had it. My mother ended up committing suicide with it, she took lithium. I am 41 and left my husband of 18 years. I have been struggling to find the right medication. I did take depakote. 1500 mg but it made me gain weight and lose hair. I like topamax. In fact I lost 40 pounds. down to 105 pounds!!! well I have a 17 yr old daughter and I am starting to see the signs of bipolar in her.
