I don't have any meds on hand except for thorazine and I don't think that will help me. Well, it might help with the anxiety I am feeling.
I was doing so well and then mood started to drop and then my friend killed herself. And I just got news tonight that another friend tried to kill herself. I am not coping very well with all of this.

My pdoc knows the situation. I don't know if I can give up my pills. They are like my security. I will try though.

I am scared that if I give the meds to someone that I will never get them back. You are probably thinking that's a good thing except I like having them around ... they comfort me to know that I have a way out if needed.

Thanks. I was thinking of Zyprexa too. I might call my pdoc tomorrow and ask him to prescribe to me ASAP.

Zyprexa seems to be the winner. :) I will call my pdoc tomorrow.

Thanks RJ. Those links you provided were very helpful. I was able to able to relax. Too bad I couldn't project them on my bedroom wall when it's time to sleep. :) I really appreciated them.

Yes, two friends. The second one didn't succeed though. They are part of an ED support group online where I have been a member for 10 years. I know these women well.

I feel the same things she did. I cut in the same places. I have an ED. There are too many similarities that it scares me. She was a beautiful friend.

What a lovely fragile spirit. TY for sharing that video. I'm so sorry that you lost that beautiful person from your life. She was too young. It was not her time. She lost hope.
Never give up hope Maxime. Weeks, months later, moods and feelings can be different. Your life can change. You may have to change docs to get what you need. But don't give up hope. Keep a sliver in your pocket.

You should try the zyprexa and not worry about weight gain. Thats what I do! I've gained a little weight but have stoped gaining, for quite some time.

I saw my pdoc today and decided to put me on Lithium. I am starting off at 300 mg and taking it from there. I really hope it helps with the depression and the mood swings.
Does anyone know how long it takes for Lithium to work?

Maxie fairly quickly depending on the symptoms and diagnosis. For someone with a severe manic episode could be longer than let's say someone coming off drugs or alchohol with underlying bipolar. This was my observation. Phillipa
