Hi and welcome to the board. First everyone here is great with answering questions so ask away that's the best thing to do. I was dx in Nov.. and recently found these sites in the beggining of this month and it has been a life saver for me. So advice take it one day at a time...
What works for others may not work for you.... Don't get to discouraged if you have to change meds quite a few times to get the right ones..... Be honest with your symptoms if your seeing a pdoc regularly that's the best way to ensure your getting proper help...Oh my favorite keep a diary card daily of your moods, things that bother you times when you feel more depressed or less more manic or less so you can better know your cycles...Okay sorry to overwhelm you....Everyone else you will find is way more educated about this illness and is great at ADVICE

Just take it one day at a time and feel free to ask, ask, ask away or just come here and talk okay...Best to you Lynelle
