Hi, I my name is Angela. I have just come across your board. I am delighted to find such a place. I am challenged by schizoaffective - bipolar type II. It has seemed like a battle does not ever end. I have been on countless meds...currently the Geodon, this has helped somewhat for the last year. Lithium(eskalith) which I have been on for awhile seems to do it's job but is not enough. And Ambien to sleep. I have moved to Arizona hoping the weather may help things a bit. because of my high emotionality, manic/depressed state combo with hallucinations, things really are going down hill fast as of recent. My doc wants to now drop the Geodon and add Topamax 25mg and Wellbutrin along with the lithium. I personally am so freaked out about side affects anymore I am scared to take anything. Reading what has been written on this board has not really tipped the scale in any one direction, but I am immensley glad that it is available. I am just so tired of being miserable and feeling like my spirit is being taken away from me. My family want to investigate what type of meds they have in Europe and Canada that may not be offered in the U.S. as of yet. My family is very supportive and loving but they get frustrated because they cannot magically fix this challenge of mine. Anyway sorry for all the babble...I appreciate you taking the time to read and/or comment. I work myself of the Geodon for this week and then start Topamax on next wednesday. Take care to all of you. thanks angela
