Hi there

Bypolar is the ups and downs of high adrenaline, and the low afterwards.
It is the activation of the fight or flight mechanism of the brain.
The brain sees allergens as being attacked (which it is) and produces massive amounts of adrenalin to fight off the attackers.

This high lasts until the amount of adrenalin has been used.
Then the low starts, by which time the allergen is consumed again and the cycle starts again.
The most common allergen, and the most often consumed allergen is dairy.
Instead of taking antipsychotic medication like Lithium, Valproate/Divalproex, Carbamazepine, Lamotrigine, Topiramate, Gabapentin, or any of the other poisons usually issued for this (allergic) disorder, give up dairy products for one month and see the improvement.
You'll never want to suckle off the cow again!

Good luck

i just had a friend with bipolar disapper without warning and to top that one of her kids is sick and she did not take his meds with her i dont know wheres shes at saddens me ive wasted 12 years looking for her to just all of a sudden leave unannounced its life my whole life is a Lie.....

To AliciaSayer:

You're whole life isn't a lie. Having relationships with a person with bipolar presents dangers. I know this: I was never able to get back to the same good graces with two people who have bipolar after arguments. Yeah, it's dissapointing. It wasn't my fault, and it's not your fault. I think the roller coaster is compelling. Trying to be there for someone has its drawbacks. Maybe you'll agree in time.
