Hi everyone,
I just thought I should get on here and update you all. I have been taking Citalopram and Lithium for about 3 weeks now. I haven't been depressed at all. I did have 2 hypo mania episodes, but I haven't had any episodes for 11 days now!!! I am sooooo happy! Pretty good for a rapid cycler, huh?
I have been doing really good at work too. If you didn't read before I am a waitress at a truck stop. I was told I am a fast learner. I made $50 in tips on Sunday afternoon. I usually only make about $20 cause I work in the evenings when no one is hardly in the restaurant. I work 5pm till close, 6 days a week. I also work at A&W. I work 10:30am -3pm, 3 days a week starting out.
My anxiety has gotten better too. I don't think I would be able to do these jobs with out my meds. It is just really exciting to finally find a combo of meds that actually work for me. No they don't cover 100% of my bipolar symptoms, but a big majority of them.
Hope to hear from you all
