This is for Todd and "newbie" -welcome...
I just wanted to say my ex-husband has BP and it may have been extreme, but he would have these horrible manic depressive periods (suicidal thoughts/paranoia etc..) then he would have the "manic" high feeling, like he could conquer the world. Each cycle lasted a few months, and it was just up and down. I think alot of pdoc say alot of us have BP but it may be a lesser variation of it. And I will say I hate depakote. I had alot of side effects and would never take it again. Lamictal is a good alternative.Todd, you seem to have the same dx as me. What are you taking med wise???
Thanks
Sandy
