 A symphony of atrocities.  Posts: 1,437 From: The Sage Brush Steppes  |
I am bipolar and have been so since the age of eight. My parents are inept and ignorant so instead of getting me treatment they beat me. The disease has wreaked havoc on my academics, has inhibited my ability to have good relationships and has alienated me from my family. I only got better when I decided I wanted to.(you can't decide you are not menatlly ill, but you can decide to seek treatment) I have found that having a good relationship with a clinician is important, a doctor is your link to health and productivity. I have good communication with my doctor, and because of that she has been able to find the right medication for me (seroquel). My advice, no one can get better for you, stay on your meds, keep your doctor appointments and don't give up hope.

Hi. My brother just started taking 10mg of Abilify a day, but he's having trouble dealing with side effects--namely, jitteriness and a kind of mental cloudiness. Any recommendations on how to cope with these effects? Practical suggestions? Many thanks....
