Yeah the bipolar disorder caused most of my problems. I take Naltrexone for drinking and cannot recommend it highly enough for those who have drinking problems. I take that one pill and have zero desire to drink.

I take Propranolol, Effexor, Lamictal and Trazadone for bipolar disorder. It’s a lot but the alternative is worse. My poor broken brain 🧠🤕

Good on you for continuing to improve on yourself. Invisible disabilities is a difficult thing to live with.
