Thanks so much Katia--
Let's see...Yeah--I can see why you wouldn't want to risk the PCOS if you want kiddos some day. I, on the other hand DON'T want them--not anytime soon...so I would consider Depakote as an option. I'm feeling encouraged to try another anti-convulsant as you and others have suggested. I really need to take care of the speedy, sleep deprived side of this crap w/o a benzo.
Supposedly, Trileptal has a relatively low side effect profile. I think that's what I'm reaching for first.
And you know, I think ALL of us BP's can relate to the hurry up and wait business. When I feel good, I'm like--ok--gotta get the stuff done I couln't do before. Then I do too much and fall flat on my face and can't even do the dishes. DITTO!
You really seem better Katia. I can't hear your voice, but I can sense a bit more optomism in your posts. It's great. I'm feeling determined to beat this thing. I know you are too. *sniffle*
take lots of care,
Katy
