Just Starting the program...
I was driving thru Dallas and heard the add on the radio. I just got the cds and started the wookbook. I have rapid cycling bipolar. I am on Cymbalta, Ambien and Zanex. I really dont know if it helping but I am hoping the program will help me get off the meds. I would like any input at all to help me start off the best way possible. Is there any advice that anyone has for me.
Welcome. Your doctor knows best when it comes to Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder and medication. Have you discussed the most current understanding (from the psychiatric community) about this disorder? I am assuming you already have done this. As for this program, my advice is to adhere to the guidebook instructions. Everything you need to know about the program is there. Again, welcome. I hope you join the community daily, and let us know when you need help with your session material. Kind regards.
This is one of those disorders that is still getting a lot of research. The best source for understanding this is your psychiatrist. A psychiatrist (perhaps in a teaching hospital) who has a lot of experience with this particular disorder, and who stays very current with the research, would be my choice if I were you. I wish you the absolute best.
