The dredded "new drug"

Had some symptoms and mania including dilussions for the first time ever about two weeks ago. I happened to have a phychiatrists appointment. last Wed. He tried me out on 50 mg of Seraquil. So far so crappy. I feel so run down and that all I want to do is sleep. Despite the fact I am getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night, about a half hour after wakening I feel I have to go back to bed for the rest of the day. I also feel a slight shirt into a dit of a depressive state. If anyone has experiences or tips on Seraquil, please share. My phamassist says its common to feel that way for about two weeks but if it lasts pasts that, maybe I should get back in to he him.

First post

New to the blogging thing. I am going to take a stab at blogging about every day life living with Bi-polar 2. it is both my dream and my nightmare, sometimes at exactly the same time. I will somehow try to go back in time to where I was diagnosed, how I got to where and I am between and anythng interesting that happened or helped along the way. I do love to hear from others whom also have stoies and expereinces to share. I realize there are hundred of books avaibale on the subject but really person to person conduct is the only true therapy i have ever found successful in life. Just my two cents worth I am no longer worksing so I should be able to dedicate some decent consistent time to this blog but you also know how its gets, when you have more doctors than friends, you also have lots of appointments and all the other things that contend with that as well. From here I begin, I may go forward but most likey to begin i will go back in time to give you a better taste of where I am from, where this started and how my storm broke. i love words of encouragement, good or bad, please dont be shy and share your thoughts, I can only learn from negative ones but thrive from good ones.
