I was diagnosed bipolar 8 years ago. Life has been quite a merry go round ride! I am a published writer and poet. I raise Pekingnese dogs-at the present time I have six... After trying a lot of diffrent meds, I am finally fairly stable on Zyprexa,Topamax,Respirdal and Prozac. I hate taking so many meds but cycle rapidly,mania being the most predominant.
