How To Treat Bipolar 1 Without Loosing Equilibrium?
Hi. My name is knk, I have bi-olar 1 and have managed it really well. I take Lithium regularly and see a psychiatrist. I don t want to lose my equilibrium. I want to take on a new f/t job to help me get out of debt and make more money. I am close to being completely out of $$$. I do have a girlfriend whom i don t want to lose; an awesome nurse. I don t want to lose my sanity. Any suggestions?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In bipolar 1, chances of depression and manic switch is high. In that case, just carry on with lithium and maintain the dose. Never leave lithium and continue with the dose that suite you. In case, you or your partner feel any change in mood, consult the psychiatrist as early as possible. Check thyroid profile regularly to rue out any side effect due to lithium.
Thanks
