Medication Routine

Mr. Bipolar

So now that I am back to work I am getting used to taking my meds in 12 hour increments with work intertwined with my day. Today will be a long day for me I left home at 5:30 and probably wont be able to get home til 8/9pm tonight. So I am realizing that I more than likely should just be taking my meds everywhere I go.

I have a keychain container for a few doses that I keep in my backpack that I take everywhere but today I just put both pill bottles I need into my bag as well. I took my morning dose while I was driving in and will take an evening dose when I am supposed to.

The meds have been working so well that I am afraid to miss a dose or deviate from the schedule that I have been taking them.

I am 38 years old and recently learned that I may be bipolar. I am learning as much as I can as I discover myself with this newly acquired "label". I am not afraid of the diagnosis, rather I am afraid of not being able to learn and live with the diagnosis. I firmly believe that with the right medication and right medical care I can continue to live a successful life post diagnosis while keeping my eyes open for potential pitfalls that I am learning to be more acutely aware of.

  1. What meds are you taking, if you don’t mind sharing? I’m on lamotrigine 200 mg (mood stabilizer), bupropion 150 mg (happy pill), and risperidone 2 mg (anti-suicide pull). 🙂
