“I want everyone to read Dr. Pavuluri’s book “What works for bipolar kids”. It is wonderful. I have Bipolar Disorder. I am 28 and have two girls, ages 3 and 1. I was always depressed (have a family history of Mental Illness and mom was diagnosed bipolar in 1990 and sister just was diagnosed last week) and never knew about hypomania until now. After I had my first child, I slipped back into depression and was prescribed Wellbutrin which I took for two months prior to getting pregnant a second time (and going off it for my pregnancy). While pregnant with my second child, my moods got worse during the third trimester (dellusional thoughts too) and right after the birth I was put on Zoloft. That did nothing for my depression but was great for anxiety. At 5 mos postpartum, my Psych NP decided that because Wellbutrin worked last time that she would put me on it again (she was thinking to put me on Lamictal but because of the track record with Wellbutrin opted for that). That has been great for my depression and my weight has lifted (of course its done nothing for my hypomania).”
