I don&#8217;t want to<br \/>be late. That wouldn&#8217;t go over well J<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to tell you something really<br \/>important today.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s based on something that happen to me<br \/>the other day.<\/p>\n<p>I was talking to someone who was using one<br \/>of my f.ree consultation certificates you<br \/>can find in my courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NOTE-<\/p>\n<p>One of the f.ree bonus gifts with<br \/>all the courses is a certificate where <br \/>you can ask me any non medical and non<br \/>legal questions and I will call you on<br \/>the phone and go over your questions with<br \/>up to one hour of my time. <\/p>\n<p>I even pay for the phone call.<\/p>\n<p>Amway, the person basically had a whole long<br \/>list of NON medical questions for me. <\/p>\n<p>Then before we hung up, the person tried to <br \/>slip in a medical question.<\/p>\n<p>The person asked:   <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the best medication for bipolar<br \/>disorder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have heard this hundreds of times personally.<br \/>In support groups, I must have heard this<br \/>asked thousands of times. It&#8217;s like one<br \/>of the biggest questions on the planet<br \/>for bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>The person wasn&#8217;t being mean or tricky<br \/>and I could tell sincerely wanted to know the answer<br \/>to this pressing question for them.<\/p>\n<p>So I told them about how I wasn&#8217;t a doctor<br \/>or therapist and can&#8217;t offer medical or even<br \/>legal advice.<\/p>\n<p>They were like, &#8220;yea, yea I know, but which<br \/>one can you say you have seen lots of folks<br \/>do well on?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said to them, here&#8217;s the truth and what<br \/>I have found from seeing the people who<br \/>are my friends and work for me and researching<br \/>this topic. Not to mention asking lots of <br \/>doctors in the old days to same question.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s different for everyone. I said<br \/>I don&#8217;t know every medication that everyone<br \/>I know with bipolar takes but of the ones<br \/>that I do know&#8211;everyone takes a different<br \/>medication and is high functioning.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went on to say. Here&#8217;s what I can<br \/>tell you. Logically everyone is different.<\/p>\n<p>What works for one person may not work<br \/>for another. What dose works for one person<br \/>may not work for another. There is no best<br \/>medication. The is no one pill for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of options for medication <br \/>and it comes down to which combination is<br \/>going to work the best.<\/p>\n<p>Since I have been volunteering for a long time<br \/>in support groups, I have noticed that MANY people<br \/>ask the same question. &#8220;What&#8217;s the best medication<br \/>people ask?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I have heard in one meeting a person say medication<br \/>x is terrible. It did all these bad things<br \/>to a person. Then the next month, a different person<br \/>says the same medication works wonders. In each time,<br \/>people write down really fast the name and are either<br \/>excited or sad. I am shocked that so many support<br \/>groups actually allow people to talk about their<br \/>medication because 90% of what I hear is flawed.<\/p>\n<p>So remember that everyone is different, what<br \/>works for one person may not work for another.<br \/>Each person in an individual. It&#8217;s the good<br \/>doctor that can make the determination over time.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a major theme in my courses and systems.<\/p>\n<p>Your first goal is to get yourself or your loved<br \/>one with bipolar disorder to a good doctor<br \/>who know what the heck he\/she is doing.<\/p>\n<p>The good doctor then starts to determine<br \/>if you or your loved one really has bipolar<br \/>disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Then they began to formulate a treatment plan<br \/>to get the person back to normal and stable.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the treatment plan is medication.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of different types of medications<br \/>out there. There are lots of options.<\/p>\n<p>A bad doctor has no clue and almost approaches<br \/>it like a lottery just kind of guessing. <\/p>\n<p>As I understand it, the good doctor, can<br \/>guess better and faster what would work.<\/p>\n<p>Ever meet a person who is good with <br \/>cars? Someone not like me who can&#8217;t<br \/>even change a tire. This person can<br \/>figure out what&#8217;s wrong with a car<br \/>REALLY quickly. It&#8217;s like they have<br \/>magic powers. People like have no<br \/>clue, they get books and try to figure<br \/>it out guessing 99% of the time wrong<br \/>on what to do to fix a car.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the same with doctors. The same<br \/>thing. The good doctor get guess which<br \/>medication is going to work much quicker.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if it&#8217;s not working the doctor<br \/>knows faster and can get a person to<br \/>another possible medication or combination<br \/>right away to reduce the number of problems<br \/>that occur. Bad doctors don&#8217;t do this.<\/p>\n<p>They are just clue less, if you listen<br \/>to the success interviews in my courses\/systems<br \/>you&#8217;ll hear person after person talk about<br \/>the bad doctor for bipolar disorder and<br \/>how destructive he\/she can be. My mom lost<br \/>decades of her life from bad doctors.<\/p>\n<p>Now she has a great doctor. In one of<br \/>my f.ree bonus gifts for my courses you even<br \/>see EXACTLY how I found my mom&#8217;s doctor, I <br \/>prove that I found her using this method and<br \/>how you can use the same exact method.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I want to say something else about<br \/>medications.<\/p>\n<p>Actually you know what, I have to go. I will<br \/>have to say that another day. Just stay on<br \/>my list and you&#8217;ll hear the next part.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t mean to lead you on and not tell<br \/>you everything it&#8217;s just that I have to<br \/>go and I CAN NOT BE LATE. No matter<br \/>what. I am actually planning on getting their<br \/>a full 30 minutes early because this is<br \/>very important.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I have to run.
