There's a reason for all of this! (of course i struggle a bit when i'm having a paranoid spell! lol) and i'm so sorry about your foot. my 11 yr old daughter is nursing a broken toe. (who has bp-disorder i'm afraid, but another story all together) blessings all hello Rosa, Bipolar medication side effects can be very odd- but it is undersandably as our brains control all that we do- and we are taking medications that affect our brains. When I was on Tegretol, I had what I called Tegretol eyeball. I lost my depth perception - I actually wore an eye patch to even things out. I now know that this type of side effect is not exactly acceptable and I should have talked about it more with my doctor! Of course, many people take Tegretol with no eye problems !Julie Well, i never stop learning. i was wondering what was causing balance clumsiness issues. never put together my lamictal/deplin combo.

hello Rosa,

Bipolar medication side effects can be very odd- but it is undersandably as our brains control all that we do- and we are taking medications that affect our brains.

When I was on Tegretol, I had what I called Tegretol eyeball. I lost my depth perception – I actually wore an eye patch to even things out. I now know that this type of side effect is not exactly acceptable and I should have talked about it more with my doctor! Of course, many people take Tegretol with no eye problems !Julie

Wishing you a quick recovery! Sandra Hi, Thank you! I am writing an article on psychosis while icing my foot. Psychosis is a normal part of bipolar disoder- but it's little understood by people with the illness- which makes the topic difficult to put into layperson terms! julie Aren’t x-rays interesting?

Wishing you a quick recovery!

I wish you a speedy healing process. Hugs, Tehenita thank you Tehenita! Though I am not happy about the toe- I have to admit that the xray has changed the way I look at the insides of my body! We need to keep the outside healthy so that our bones can funtion and support us easily. Julie Hi Julie, Ouch, that sounds painful. I wish you a speedy healing process.
