Hi,
How’s it going?
I hope you are doing well.
I actually have to go to a Christening
today for my God daughter Anna.
So I have to get ready to go. I don’t want to
be late. That wouldn’t go over well J
I wanted to tell you something really
important today.
It’s based on something that happen to me
the other day.
I was talking to someone who was using one
of my f.ree consultation certificates you
can find in my courses/systems below:
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

NOTE-
One of the f.ree bonus gifts with
all the courses is a certificate where
you can ask me any non medical and non
legal questions and I will call you on
the phone and go over your questions with
up to one hour of my time.
I even pay for the phone call.
Amway, the person basically had a whole long
list of NON medical questions for me.
Then before we hung up, the person tried to
slip in a medical question.
The person asked:
“What’s the best medication for bipolar
disorder.”
I have heard this hundreds of times personally.
In support groups, I must have heard this
asked thousands of times. It’s like one
of the biggest questions on the planet
for bipolar disorder.
The person wasn’t being mean or tricky
and I could tell sincerely wanted to know the answer
to this pressing question for them.
So I told them about how I wasn’t a doctor
or therapist and can’t offer medical or even
legal advice.
They were like, “yea, yea I know, but which
one can you say you have seen lots of folks
do well on?”
I said to them, here’s the truth and what
I have found from seeing the people who
are my friends and work for me and researching
this topic. Not to mention asking lots of
doctors in the old days to same question.
It’s different for everyone. I said
I don’t know every medication that everyone
I know with bipolar takes but of the ones
that I do know–everyone takes a different
medication and is high functioning.
Then I went on to say. Here’s what I can
tell you. Logically everyone is different.
What works for one person may not work
for another. What dose works for one person
may not work for another. There is no best
medication. The is no one pill for everyone.
There are lots of options for medication
and it comes down to which combination is
going to work the best.
Since I have been volunteering for a long time
in support groups, I have noticed that MANY people
ask the same question. “What’s the best medication
people ask?”
I have heard in one meeting a person say medication
x is terrible. It did all these bad things
to a person. Then the next month, a different person
says the same medication works wonders. In each time,
people write down really fast the name and are either
excited or sad. I am shocked that so many support
groups actually allow people to talk about their
medication because 90% of what I hear is flawed.
So remember that everyone is different, what
works for one person may not work for another.
Each person in an individual. It’s the good
doctor that can make the determination over time.
Here’s a major theme in my courses and systems.
Your first goal is to get yourself or your loved
one with bipolar disorder to a good doctor
who know what the heck he/she is doing.
The good doctor then starts to determine
if you or your loved one really has bipolar
disorder.
Then they began to formulate a treatment plan
to get the person back to normal and stable.
Part of the treatment plan is medication.
There are lots of different types of medications
out there. There are lots of options.
A bad doctor has no clue and almost approaches
it like a lottery just kind of guessing.
As I understand it, the good doctor, can
guess better and faster what would work.
Ever meet a person who is good with
cars? Someone not like me who can’t
even change a tire. This person can
figure out what’s wrong with a car
REALLY quickly. It’s like they have
magic powers. People like have no
clue, they get books and try to figure
it out guessing 99% of the time wrong
on what to do to fix a car.
It’s the same with doctors. The same
thing. The good doctor get guess which
medication is going to work much quicker.
Also, if it’s not working the doctor
knows faster and can get a person to
another possible medication or combination
right away to reduce the number of problems
that occur. Bad doctors don’t do this.
They are just clue less, if you listen
to the success interviews in my courses/systems
you’ll hear person after person talk about
the bad doctor for bipolar disorder and
how destructive he/she can be. My mom lost
decades of her life from bad doctors.
Now she has a great doctor. In one of
my f.ree bonus gifts for my courses you even
see EXACTLY how I found my mom’s doctor, I
prove that I found her using this method and
how you can use the same exact method.
Finally I want to say something else about
medications.
Actually you know what, I have to go. I will
have to say that another day. Just stay on
my list and you’ll hear the next part.
I don’t mean to lead you on and not tell
you everything it’s just that I have to
go and I CAN NOT BE LATE. No matter
what. I am actually planning on getting their
a full 30 minutes early because this is
very important.
Hey, I have to run. Have a great Sunday.
Your Friend,
Dave
