Yes. She started Celexa in December for the depression, which she always battled. They added Lamictal in June that really seemed to help.

It took over a week to get Abilify prescribed (her psych was on vacation). That seemed to stabilize her mood, but she still decided to move out. She has continued to take Celexa the whole time.

This all very much helps. I hadn't read anything about selfish thinking in bipolars. That is new to me. Does this come only in the manic or depressive stages or is it all the time? Do the meds help or do you just learn to control it?

I am sorry to hear about your assault. I hope you are able to find peace, I know my W still struggles with it.

Thank you so much.
