@hope112 I’m sorry your son has this disorder. As you know it puts a strain on everyone.

I’m 73 years old so I’m retired. I take 150 mg of Lamictal, and 150mg of Zoloft. Please keep in mind that it will take about 6 weeks before the medication kicks in so everyone has to be patient.

The biggest social issue I have is that I tend to speak my mind without thinking. Basically I speak my thoughts without censoring them. That gets me into trouble now and then. I’m not sure if it’s because of the bipolar disorder but that’s what I do.

I also love to shop, however I don’t have to buy. “Window shopping” makes me happy when I’m manic. Even surfing online sites is fun.

There are other issues I deal with that overshadow this one. My physical condition is not great either.

I hope your son is able to find some peace of mind soon.
