Hi Everyone. I'm Lynne. I've been a sufferer of severe depression, anxiety attacks and paranoia for a few years now. I've been assessed and diagnosed with Bipolar tendancies - although not classed as a full bipolar sufferer.
I currently take 20mg of Escitalapram each day and zoplicone(sp) sleeping tablets for my bad days.
At the moment my bad times are few and far between and I came across this site whilst searching for info with regards to my medication. My doctor has informed me that I'll be on my tablets for most of my life. I guess I've come to terms with this now. I prefer to feel relatively normal even if it does mean swallowing tablets on a daily basis.
Its good to see lots of members on here who share the same problems. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing my lows and highs with you all.
My one "hate" in life is people who tell me to pull myself together and be greatful I'm not in a wheelchair or have a serious illness and to be thankful I'm alive.
Sometimes I do wish I was in a wheelchair or had something visible to show I have a serious illness.
But I am beating this thing at the mo and have been back at work fulltime since May of this year.
