I've been suffering from bipolar disease (disorder) since I was a teen (I'm now 51). You get the worse anxiety attacks and depression from it! I use anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs because I have to, natural herbs and combinations didnt work. If I dont stay regular on my meds, I become like the HULK, one mad beast and boy, do I regret it later! I wonder if there are more mylotions who suffer from similar, if not the same, problems?

Well I am right there with you - have been Bipolar since a child and yes I have to take my meds every single day as I am a rapid cycler - meaning I go from up to down and back again in a heartbeat!!! I also have to take anxiety meds as well as the antidepressants and the anti-psychotics too!!! If I were to stop - boy you would not be able to recognize me - nothing like an Angry Bit.. hanging over your head!!! And you are right the herbs and other natural remedies that are out there - definitely don't work for me!!! I think they probably work best for those who suffer mild depression.
