      Bipolar Medication (3): Last Post in Series for Now
      I had intended to spend the week finishing our discussion on bipolar medication, but quite honestly I'm tired of writing about it because it's a downer for me. So...I'd genuinely like to thank everyone who participated in our discussion. For the first time since I've been writing this blog, I feel I truly was able to host a meaningful discussion on bipolar medication. Perhaps some of you will

      Other Bipolar Voices
      I plan to conclude my series on bipolar medication next week, and then launch into another series on my experiences with alternative and complementary medicine. In the meantime, I'll be out of town on Saturday and Sunday, so while I'll try to moderate and respond to comments, there may be a time-gap between when you leave comments and when I respond. But, there are other bloggers who are

      Bipolar Medication (2): My First Medication-Induced Mania
      In 1993--and perhaps now, although I haven't researched it lately--the common feeling was that once you started antidepressants you should remain on them. However, I didn't feel comfortable remaining on drugs I didn't need. To me, it would have been like telling a diabetic to remain on insulin even if her blood sugar was normal without it. But, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, in 1994 I had

      Bipolar Medication: My First Experience
      Caveat: I am a layperson with no medical training. This series on medication is based on research and personal opinion. If you plan on making any changes to your medication, consult your doctor. After I was diagnosed as atypical bipolar II in 1993, the psychiatrist whom I've long since thought of as Ice Maiden (given her lack of empathy), prescribed Zoloft. Despite how horribly depressed I felt,

      Bipolar Medication: A Prelude
      Caveat: I am a layperson with no medical training. This series on medication is based on research and personal opinion. If you plan on making any changes to your medication, consult your doctor. How do I write a series on psychiatric medication without offending those who can't survive without it and those who can't survive with it? Maybe it's important for me to say I'm neither pro- nor anti-

      Bipolar Research: What a Crock!
      I believe one of the reasons I have recently felt under the weather is because in my attempt to figure out if any of the bipolar books in my home library offer positive advice for wellness, I have had to skim seven or eight of them. Quite honestly, aside from Marja's book, Riding the Roller Coaster: Living with Mood Disorders, there are few if any bipolar books that I find the least bit

      Driving a Bipolar Stepper Motor
        Jason writes:This entry shows the configuration I used to make a NMB (Minebea Electronics Co.) PM35L-048, 24VDC, 9.4 Ohm unipolar stepper motor work. I salvaged several of these motors from some Xerox inkjet printers. The motors were labeled well and I found manufacture specifications on-line. I was not able to find a wire diagram so [...]

      Bipolar Behavior: Irritability
      I had intended to write about bipolar anger and rage. Unfortunately, most bipolar books barely use these words. Rather, the word "irritability" is listed in their indexes. In their seminal book, Manic-Depressive Illness, written by Frederick K. Goodwin, M.D., and Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., they write, "Research on mood symptoms in mania demonstrates that most patients are depressed, labile (

      Bilious Bipolar Behavior (Part 1)
      I have learned it's not healthy to "ruminate" about the past, but I do wish that years ago I had known about certain bipolar symptoms, and the bilious bipolar behavior (Don't be offended; I like the alliteration) it causes. Because if I had, I would have changed my behavior before it embarrassed me. One of the values of writing a bipolar blog is reading about other people's symptoms and seeing

      I’m not sure I could beat this subject too hard. If you have bipolar disorder and have looked for life insurance, you know how challenging and frustrating it can be. One of the underwriting points that is absolutely critical to getting the best rates possible is that a person has to have a stable work [...]

      Bipolar Courage
      I believe it takes a tremendous amount of courage to survive bipolarity. What other condition causes people to feel better than great one day, and so low the next that it takes every bit of self-discipline to continue living? As I write this--I am thinking about Tony C., who is courageously adjusting to lithium; Gianna, who is courageously trying to withdraw from the medication that's making her

      Bipolar Frustration With False Advertising!
      I worked recently with a client who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder almost 8 years ago. After reading one of my posts on the success we’ve had in obtaining life insurance at good rates for people in her situation, she reluctantly decided to try again. She was really a great candidate for getting the best rates. [...]

      Is There a Bipolar Personality?
      In yesterday's post, I wrote that during a person's diagnosis for bipolar disorder, I feel he/she should take tests for temperament, and also personality (which I didn't mention). Within psychological circles, there's a lot of discussion about the differences between temperament and personality, which I'll try to explain briefly--just so I can make my point. The easiest way to explain it is that
