Resolved Question: WHY am I gaining so much weight?

I have a terribly bad back, so I can't do ANY exercises excluding hand exercises, but that doesn't help me lose weight. However, some people say I'm starving myself (which I'm not) because I hardly eat anything. I'm just not really ever hungry. On an average day, I'll probably eat a bowl of soup, a bagel, a sandwich. One of those things. But only once a day, meaning I only eat one little thing a day. I've been having this loss of appetite for 6 months now, and I've GAINED 30 lbs!!! It just d

Resolved Question: Anyone ever been on Geodon?
(Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:49:13 GMT)
I'm taking geodon for bipolar disorder. I started a few weeks ago, and I've experienced some pretty bad headaches. The pharmacist's note said that it was a side effect. My question is, do the headaches go away? How long will they last? Please don't answer telling me how awful the drug is. We all know that these medications work differently for everybody, and it isn't all that helpful.

I haven't hit the point of diabetes yet, but I know there are some medications that are labeled to cause hyperglycemia and/or diabetes. I've been on several over the past 2 years (Zyprexa, Seroquel, Risperdal, Geodon, Abilify)(Currently on Invega).

Resolved Question: How can you be sure you're bipolar, and not just go through normal ups and downs in life?
(Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:27:46 GMT)
This is what I've found from the Geodon website (part of Pfizer) " In bipolar disorder, periods of high moods are called manic episodes, and times of low moods are called depressive episodes. Some people also have mixed episodes, feeling manic and depressed at the same time." "Symptoms of acute manic or mixed episodes may include: Extremely high or irritable mood Increased energy, activity, and restlessness Racing thoughts or talking very fast Being easily distracted Feeling little need

I am currently on Geodon and Depakote, which seem to be working well for me. As I've been researching this, I've noticed a lot of people talking about how this disease affects their personal relationships with people. I do not want this whatsoever. What can I do to minimize episodes? My mind races a lot, and sometimes it's hard for me to get a "crazy" idea unstuck in my head. Like I said, the meds are helping with the mood swings, I just want to know, what has worked for YOU? What doesn'

Last year I was in the hospital for suicidal thoughts. About 5 days after being there I started to get really paranoid and thought people were trying to come after me.

It's been slowly starting up again. This week its been the worst. Im so anxious and afraid I'm on the verge of insanity. This morning I heard someone yel

Resolved Question: Is there such a thing as bipolar anxiety?
(Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:11:10 GMT)
I may be coining a new term here. Basically, I was diagnosed with several anxiety disorders about four years ago and have been on a variety of medications since then: Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Cymbalta, Seroquel and Abilify (although only briefly at very low dosages), Klonopin and Xanax (very low dosages), and now Neurontin and Geodon. Nothing really works for me. It sucks. I have OCD about many things, from orderliness in my sentence structure to writing down the calories of everything I eat s

I’m a 23-year-old male who has recently been diagnosed with major depression with psychotic features. I was prescribed lexapro and geodon but refused to take them because I heard somewhere that antipsychotics are bad for your heart and lungs and I’m afraid to take them.

Resolved Question: Can bipolar disorder patients be symptom free?

My step-daughter was diagnosed bipolar in 2007. In 2008 a doctor said he thought she was misdiagnosed and weaned her off the meds. She was off the meds from June 2008-present. She was symptom free the whole time. She had "normal" teenage girl issues (she is 15 1/2), but nothing as I have read with bipolar disorder. We are now about to begin a custody battle since she has said she wants to live with her father and I. She came to our home and refused to go home one weekend. My husband took her t

I need help sleeping but my Dr. refuses to give me any sort of sleeping pill. She will not give me anything that is designed to help you sleep. Instead she makes me try other drugs that just have a side effect of sleep: Vistaril, geodon, seroquel, trazodone. Why? Why can't she just give me something thats effective. I had serious side effects to 2 of those drugs and still she will not give me any sleeping pills or anything that is a controlled substance.
