About Mood Tracking

[Biker Angel]

Moodtracker.com is a site that lets you keep track of your daily moods with a chart and also your meds and daily use. It has helped me a great deal and the people there are bipolar like us and offer lots of info and tips about managing bipolar disorder.

I am bipolar 1 and my meds are:
Effexor XR 225mg in the morning
and Risperidone 1/2mg at night.

I was diagnosed BP1 in 1997 and mostly have been mildly elevated my whole life until a little over 2 years ago when I cycled down to my depressive state.
So now I am working with my Psych doctor (pdoc) to bring me up and out of this darn depression. Moodtracker has helped me keep track of all that I have to do about my bipolar disorder and its a great tool that you can use for free.

Hello! I am sorry to hear that you have cycled into the depressive state...have you tried to add mood stabilizer to your Effexor? My psych says that for us who have BP a mood stabilizer is a must, that way your moods will be level without going up and down --- aahhh....to be on an even keel will be nice -- I just added mood stabilizer to mine!

Good luck and God Bless! -- Stephanie

Other bipolar people have also asked me why I'm not on a mood stabilizer.
So I will check in with my pdoc and talk to her about it. I used to like being
bipolar when I was a little manic and younger. Now it's just all about the
depression and how to get baseline again.
