Hi my name is sue and I was in Timberline Knolls last July 2013. While I think it helped I am yet again finding out that mental health issues never end. I have a wonderful Supporttive husband of 15 years and 3 beautiful healthy children god has blessed me with. We are financially secure and own our own business. While I know all these positive things in my head I feel like I am just not right.

I have ADHD and am on 60 milligrams of Vyvanse once a day. I was diagnosed as a child but was never medicated until I was at Timberline. I was also put on Zoloft 100mg a day and it doesn't help at all. I also take Nexium 40mg per day as well. While I was in Timberline they started me on Lamectil as well but when I got out and went to my Primary he said he didn't believe I needed to continue and took my off that. For some reason I feel that I felt better when I was on Lamectial.

I had serious postpartum pychosis with all 3 of my kids and was in UCLA after my last child 11 years ago.

I have a huge family history of mental health disorders from depression, Bipolar disorder, suicide and addiction problems.

The more and more I read about bipolar disorder the more shockingly it becomes quite clear to me that it's like reading a story of my life. So many highs, lows and in between sand I feel guilty because I have a wonderful life.

I don't mind being on meds that help me but I don't want to be over medicated to the point that the good parts I know I have in me are gone, I hope that makes sense.

Any advice I am at a loss.

Thank you for your time

Sue
