Hi.. here's my short story.

 

Diagnosed with Bipoler 2. Spent years being whipsawed on traditional

meds that almost killed me (mostly SSRI's). Have turned to

homeopathic Dr. as a last resort. 6 months now and doing better than

ever previously before.. need more gain but happier and at less risk

now. If I listened to the doctors I would be on Lithium with other

combos drugs. What I take/do

 

5-HTP (precursor to seretonin)

Aurum (mood / suicide type stabilizer)

Nux Vom (sleep)

Omega 3 via flax pill

other supliments

Gingko bil

Ambien (a non natural sleep med)

Lorazapam (a non natural anxiety med)

 

Meditation (Osho is my latest fad)

Creative Outlet: Music (listening, seing, playing)

Careful planning around problem triggers and self other self

management techniques (e.g. wake / sleep regulation).

 

My week spots.. drinking (currently " off " during the week), leaning

on the unatrual meds, relationship support problems, ultra stress

job, etc., falling victum to manic depressive cyles vs. battling via

my " tools "

 

The depression and bipolor community is overwhelmed with traditional

drugs (which I may have to go back on one-day)... I post questions

about my above list and it turns into dust in cyberspace..They are

all hooked in the crazy cycle of ultra med mixing perscribed by

thier pdocs (can't blame them)..but there is a MAJOR problem going

on with the pdoc process not to mentino treatment and insurence

horror stories.

 

I can't find people battling real BP or mid-heavy mental problems

naturally.. or they just don't answer my calls..

 

Anyone in the same boat.. I would love to hear.. also hope to pick

up other good tools from this group.

 

The book Depression-Free for Life by Gabriel Cousens and my

Naturopath Dr. has potentiall now changed my life.

 

Thanks for listening.. Bob
