Bipolar Disorde
"53 yrs old. Coming on for approximately 6 months I couldn&#039;t think or remember anything. Stayed in bed for days (retired). My face would grimace. Hands and feet would just &quot;have&quot; to move trying to &quot;make the feeling stop&quot;.  Relatives said I was avoiding answering direct questions. I was scaring myself, went to doc. Already on an anti-depressant, he added valproic acid 250 mg 2x a day. Worked perfectly for 13 days, then stopped. Went back in and he said just hang in there. After another 10 days, it started working again. Every once in awhile &quot;it&quot; comes back, so I take a pill maybe a bit early. Stayed on 3 a day. It has been a miracle for me. Today, I took apart my ceiling fan that had been broken for 2 years and wasn&#039;t afraid to do so. "
