bipolar disorde
"Wellbuetrin (get off the couch). Zoloft (be happy). Pristiq (be happier). Xanax (chill out). Adderall (get 'er done, efficiently). Dexilant (ulcer, of course).  Lisinopril (blood pressure).  Up. Down. Up. Down.  and then....because I felt so awful and helpless, pain pills.  I'm a smart girl.  I understand the epidemic and the risk of addiction, but didn't care.  Went into new Dr. (one that finally didn't just take out a prescription pad and ask me "what do you want?", but asked questions to better understand me.  The plan?  To taper off a ton of these drugs (not cold turkey), and prescribed Lamictal.  Game changer.  Less meds for liver.  More money in my pocket.  More genuine calmness and happiness. Seriously, game changer"
