Bipolar and Steroids?? HELP!!

[bpm1]

its more than lack of motivation, its the scrips u r on.ive been on meds for ocd,bipolar disorder, a chronic anxiety disorder, they had a hard time nailing down my diagnosis to say the least.all i can say is most of the meds ive been on(and ive been on ALOT) have ha a very tranquilizing effect on me.needless to say i lived in a zombie-like state for years.im now free from all the scrip drugs and ive learned to deal with my conditions on a mental level.i still suffer from alot of the symptoms but with age and maturity ive learned to cope with them.im not saying everyone can or should do this its just what i felt i needed to do.im quite sure your motivation issue has more to do with your scrips than your work ethic.it really comes down to what you need to do to make sure ur ok and it sounds to me like that includes your meds for now.GL brother its a hard thing u deal with everyday i do understanda and i wish u the best.shoot me a pm if u ever need to vent or talk about what your going through id be glad to toss it around abit. peace

Yes, absolutely, the side affects of these meds can affect you that way. You have to weigh up the pros and cons. It's best to stay on them until you have made positive changes in your life then you can think about tapering off, under medical supervision ofcourse. You don't want to undo all the good work and progress you have made so far. I'v seen too many people spend many months and sometimes years to get their lives on track only to end up where they started in a few short weeks. I admre their determination to get off their meds but you don't want to be going around in circles. Getting off meds takes time and a lot of planning.

Hey Guys ,

I find this post very inertesting , I my self have been taking one 150mg of wellbutrin at 6am for anxiety and 25mg of seroquel as a sleep aid (not for bipolar) all sleep aids failed for me in the pastthey never lasted longer than 2 hours then im up all night. 25 mgs of seroquel works great and I wake up in the am with lots of energy. when i start my test e and dbol cycle next week i hope the wellbutrin and seroquel agree with it.
