You know..I visited that site a while ago. I'm kind of sad to see it again.
Some events beyond my control led me into the hospital again this summer. It had nothing to do with alternative treatments. It had everything to do with not taking anything under stress, missing sleep, and then having a change in mood.
I looked through the bipolar section again I really want to give the alternatives a try, but I'm stuck with my pdoc because 1) my parents want me to see her, and 2) I'd feel bad about leaving cause she's a very caring doctor.
I just really want to try the alternatives. Mostly because before I had my first mood swing for 2 years I was vegetarian, and would have a large fries, gravey and dressing for lunch at school. ( I was a naive vegetarian. )
I think nutritional treatments would work for me and I really want to try everything alternative, and as small a possible dose of lithium ( 0mg if possible ) since it has some unpleasant side-effects at my usual dose.
The only problem now is I may have side-effects from the AP I was on. And when I look back at that site I keep thinking about how healty I was before I was put through this round of drugs.
It's really upsetting.
