Guest guest Posted February 28, 1999 Report Share Posted February 28, 1999 Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that my son is coming home from the hospital tomorrow. Boy is he excited, I am too, I've felt like a part of me is missing. The working theory right now is that he is bipolar. Apparently bipolars are not supposed to ever take antidepressants alone, it can send them into a manic state, which is what they think happened to him. He was on Paxil for almost a month when this happened. They've put him on Depakote and Risperdol (sp?), and although it makes him very tired he seems to be doing well on it. I have been researching bipolar, and I think he and I have a very long road ahead of us. I have learned not to get too optimistic about anything anymore, my new motto is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Thank you all again for all of your support and especially your prayers. One good thing that did come out of this...it hasn't given me time to think about my Chiari problems...as a matter of fact I haven't taken Advil in along time. Take care everyone, Sheila ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
