Scared to have my bipolar medicine lowered?!


Question: Scared to have my bipolar medicine lowered.?
Hi, i have bipolar disorder and ive been doing really well latley, and the docters are going to lower my medicinal doses, and see how i do. Im real worried though, i have a 6 week old son and a girlfriend, and were doing great. Ive started to learn maths and have a level 1 now, so i can help my son when he starts school. I dont want to loose all that by doing something stupid when depressed or on a mania, im real worried, does anyone have any pointers as to how i can keep my self normal.? The doctors arn't much use. Their answers are usually have a bath, or do something you like. They dont realise if i had a bath on a downer i'd do something stupid. Any pointers.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Hi. I too have bipolar. Try to be open. The less medication you put in your body the better, but the doctor will put the dose back up if there are problems. Tell your dr if anything changes as soon as you think it's sticking around, and have him/her readjust the dose. Dont wait for your next appointment. You can call the drs office. He/she can call in a prescription if necessary. Good luck and good health. Health Question & Answer
