Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 am new here; but I have a lot to say about me with bipolar; I take twin lab vitamin B; here I will go get them, so I can write it here: Ok, I have them now; it's TWINLAB B-100 caps... This helps me a lot... there are other vitimans i take too; which later i can share; well here i will go get the other one too... Ok here it is; twinlab daily one caps with out iron, cause i want to take the iron seperatly... there are more vitmains; which i will explain further at some time, but these two and iron which I am female so i was also taking care of some female problems too; but what i am saying is is vitmins has helped me. I also do other things as well which is in more in spirituality, but when i do share this area, i say its personal, as meaning, i feel in this area, one needs to find it in personalizing it to themselves which then will vary then... But for me about bipolar; as i was told i was, when I lost it mentally and then was locked up in a psych ward; suddenly i was like given this name, and what was i suppose to do about it; oh i was also forsed on meds, which i had to take for two years, and then i went off of them, secretly in trying to let no one know about it; which then I had to live a double life, in faking the side effects that I had when I was on meds; When I was on the meds, I was taking 1,500 mil of deplicote (sp?) I can't remember how to spell these meds; I can look them up if my misspelling make it hard to know what I took; I also took resperidal (sp?) and that through the day would be 6 mil; and then cogentin (sp?) which I can take when ever, and that was for so then to take away my restless legs that I gotten from resperidal; how ever, the cogenton; gave me blury vision… Getting off the meds was scary for me, cause everyone didn't want me to go off of the meds; when I went off of them secretly; I was tired of living a double life, I finally told my mom, and was surprised in her response… She was relieved that I did, cause she didn't like what the meds were doing to me… Example of what happen on meds: I am at the zoo with my family; my sister is pushing her baby in a stroller; well every one was walking ahead of her; and every one was enjoying seeing the animals; but me, well, I struggle to even keep up with everyone and my sister, as I lagged behind them all, and also I couldn't move my arms, as I then had to put all my consentration in moving them to try to some what look normal; well then my dad bluntly said to me, that I look like a zombie… It was then that I desided to go against every one and secretly not take meds… I have so much to say, my jurney what all took place in giving me this name bipolar; but it is my jurney, and I have like went on in my own path that well I leaving meds, suddenly I felt alone; no shrinks wanted to see me; it felt as if I left a cult… But then its God in me i went to, and I ask him how, he kept me company too, some one i can lean on; shrinks abandon me but God didn't. Actually when I was locked up; I felt I was being spiritually/soul raped… and why I say this is cause it felt like even though they were trying to change my brain, it felt like they were trying to change my soul and spirit… I can go on… about this… Susie , " idesign61204 " <averylt@h...> wrote: > > Hi everyone, I hope that you are all doing great.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi Susie, thanks for sharing about your bipolar. Have you ever heard of safeharbor? http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/ I know it is hard walking away from modern medicine, but those medicines aren't designed to get to the physical reasons of illnesses. Welcome to the group. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 In additon to the nutrition, I work with in the mental health field as well. I work everyday with persons with bipolar disorder. Your story is inspirational. I admire you for having the courage to get off of drugs that were having an adverse effect on you. I am very familiar with depacote, respiradol and cogentin. I do believe most mind altering drugs can be replaced with nutrition. I did the same thing with my own autistic son - took him off drugs and put him on nutrition. It made a remarkable difference in his quality of life. I am back on line after several months of difficulties that kept me off the computer. If you are still on the site (I know this is an older post) and would like to talk to me about nutrition and bipolar disorder, please, let me know. You are NOT bipolar. You have an illness called bipolar disorder. YOUR LIFE IS NOT A LABEL (The name of a really good book written by an autistic young man!) In my mental health job we call ourselves "stigma busters". You have to live with your illness. You don't have to live with a label. All my very best to you.
