CLONAZEPAM vs OXAZEPAM

Hi everyone, Hope you’re doing okay, or better. This week it’s been 4 years since my first manic episode. Since then, I haven’t relapsed. I’ll try to keep this short, but it will probably be a bit longer since I want to write everything that I would have wanted to read 4 years ago. **Here we go:** M

I’m a 33 year old female and have been diagnosed for 5 years now. I spent countless days, even years, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I would be on google nearly every day asking questions and just thought I had bad anxiety along with my PTSD and ADHD. My head has been off since I was a

“I’m bipolar.” “I’m bipolar type 1” “I have bipolar disorder.” “I have bipolar disorder type 1.” “I have bipolar illness.” All those statements were attempts to describe myself after my diagnosis, Bipolar illness, at the ripe age of 25. The following years were defined by this list (this is not an

I just wanted somewhere to celebrate how good I'm FINALLY doing. I've been in and out of the hospital for three years now for reckless behaviour and all of the mania, and I knew that you guys would appreciate this. After 6 months of not being employed because my doctor said I just couldn't work, I'v

I hope you can understand me, since English is not my first language. So a few days ago I restarted my medication after like years of The Misery™, you know folks, being in a shitty state all day, drinking heavily and doing clonazepam to get away from the pain, losing all interest in things I used to

For context, I’m bipolar one, and had a gnarly manic and psychotic episode when I was 19 which got me hospitalized for two weeks. That’s when I got my diagnosis, and I’m now 23. I’ve now been through boatloads of therapy, have a very comfy and stable home situation, a therapist and psychiatrist I tr

I have tried Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Fluoxetine… I’m fucking done with the side effects, I gained so much weight was hungry all the time and no desire on anything like numb/zombie all the time. I’m now on 350 Venlafaxine and just quit Olanzapine and was prescribed Clonazepam 2mg and Ambien 10mg, whi

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder almost 23 years ago. For me, the main clues that mania are approaching -- being keyed and missing sleep. Being keyed feels like I'm standing near electricity towers. I can almost feel a buzzing of current in my body and I have this overwhelming desire to be th

Have you ever fallen in love so bad that it hurts? Where you have to force yourself to not even think about the person, because otherwise your mind will run rampantly down a spiral of uncontrollable obsession? I can’t taste food without remembering her laughing at my cooking which she affectionately

“Siasch oadriax g-chis-ge gameganza. Malprg oiad pashs plapli oiad izizop!” “English, esiasch. We are all friends here.” “Friends?!” he spits. “You consider these ants *friends*? You have fallen far, brother. What happened to the Gassagen that would split these husks without a second thought? Or

I’m sorry for long post and bad grammar. But I really hope I can exchange stories with someone in a similar situation, or help someone. My boyfriend had a really rough childhood, a mom who moved and got new boyfriends all the time (10+ stepfathers through the years) + had alcohol problems, him and h

This is my positive story of my tinnitus journey. It took me 2 years to understand, and now I’m teaching you how to overcome it. This story is about stress-related tinnitus. It’s a very long story. I wrote the story originally in Dutch, but I put it through a translator. First of all, print this out

June last year after using 25mg for about three years I(28f) decided to stop taking Sertraline. I used to take them for my general anxiety disorder. At that time I felt great and my psychiatrist had said I could quit after at least two years. The first few months were great, I felt amazing doing it
