Smile An update on Kittiekatt

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

Re: An update on Kittiekatt

kittie that is so good to hear! It's always great to hear of someone doing well and feeling great too. Congrats on your 11 days free of episodes. How wonderful!

Also, $50 in tips ain't bad either!
