Weirdo

[keepemlaughing]

Hey yall. i am a 49 year old woman who suffers from.....i don't know what. I was diagnosed as bi-polar, but i never seem very manic. if anything i suffer from a real lack energy. i am always chronically tired.

does anyone taking lithium suffer from hands twitching? it is very disturbing and i am going to stop the meds because of it. i am currently on abilify (new), zoloft, and trazadone for sleep. and the lithium which i am stopping today.

anyway, hello!

hi sheryl, I know how you are feeling.maybe you have been misdiagnosed and it maybe somesthing else given the tiredness. my meds gave me alsorts of side effects like jumping sensations.. so its all normal just the chemicals I suppose. take care..

Hiya Sheryl,

I have Bipolar, but have had manic episodes. It's unusal for a doctor to diagnose you with this illness without going through a manic stage. I understand there are different levels to the illness, but this is what I thought docs assessed the illness by.

Do you think the tiredness is related to a depressive stage ? If not, anaemia could be a possibility or even problems with your Thyroid. Have you had your Thyroid checked to see if you're Under? Best to get yourself checked.

Hope you feel better soon xx
