Since my diagnosis of Bipolar 1 almost 5 years ago I have been struggling with medications and therapists who know or understand the issues I face. I’ve tried Numerous medications most of which feel as if they calm my mood by leaving my head so cloudy. Lithium in particular leaves me almost disabled making me sluggish, disorganized, and dumb.
Karen has been a godsend. For about two years now I have been seeing her weekly as we have worked to stabilize my medications and work on reality testing. The biggest stride we have made was changing my meds to Invega Sustenna. I’m thinking clearly, I’m active again, and I’m getting organized. I feel engaged in the world again even my sense of smell feels heightened. I don’t think I ever would have gotten this far on my own and I have Karen and her recommendations to thank for my new found love of life and comfort with my illness. Thank you.”
