Hello all you darling ladies and gents out there! I am new, so take it easy on me. I am an interesting, funny, passionate, caring, spontaneous, wild, and I attribute all of these traits to having mental illness!! I have been suffering from anxiety forever, and was diagnosed bi-polar as of February of 2000. I don't know what a 'normal' life feels like. And as much as I hate how I feel at least half of the time, there has to be a reason for it, right?? I found this site thank God last night while searching for side effects of Valium... My shrink tried to switch me from a high dose of Xanax to a high dose of Valium, and it was a very bad experience. Found out I have a tolerance to my Xanax, and I was going through withdrawl. Guess that happens when you take it for 13 years. It's ok. I will push on. Very nice to meet you all, and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
XOXOXOXO
Davee
