Looking for Encouragement with Bipolar Disorder and Heart Attack Recovery

Vraylar is a very good medication if you don’t have side effects from it. Everyone is different so I would suggest keeping a journal with symptoms and any side effects you experience so you can talk to your doctor about them when you go. I had good mood experiences with vraylar but I couldn’t tolerate the side effects I experienced from it so I got put on Pristiq instead. Once you find the medication that works best for you things really do get better, it’s just the process of getting there can be frustrating sometimes. Keep your head up and practice coping skills in the mean time and just realize small steps are still progress and something to be proud of. Good luck on your journey!

Rest often

Just try to de-stress yourself. For me it’s music or reading. I was diagnosed in 2004 but suffered with depression for much longer. Pay attention to your body and test often. Hope you feel better soon

Hey Victor I also have bipolar and take Vrayler! I promise that once you take medication things start to get better. You really get ahold of yourself and it’s the best feeling ever :)!
