\nMy coauthor Dr. John Preston and I are writing\u00a0a new chapter to be added to our book Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder. It’s on the topic of medications as\u00a0I\u00a0didn’t cover it in depth in the first edition of the book. I spent more time on medications in Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder.<\/p>\n

I really could use your help with this new chapter in two ways. I need to hear some medication success stories from partners of people with bipolar. <\/p>\n

How do medications help your partner and your relationship?<\/b><\/p>\n

Then, I need people to finish this sentence:<\/p>\n

I’m thankful for my medications because…….<\/b><\/p>\n

I have plenty of stories in the chapter about the difficulties of taking bipolar illness medications, but I want some positive as well!<\/p>\n

I am thankful for my Lamictal because it takes the edge off all of my symptoms. It helps with rapid cycling, hypomania and depression and definitely helps with my mild psychosis. It helps me be a less irritated person and I’m far, far more resilient when I’m on the medication. It doesn’ t make me gain weight. I can deal with the breathing side effects and it saves my life! It’s the partner I need for my management plan.<\/p>\n

Thank you Lamictal! (now, don’t ask me to say that about some of the other drugs I’ve tried- but I do want to always remember how Lamictal has changed my life for the better!)<\/p>\n

I look foward to your answers:<\/p>\n
