Hello,
you need to be very careful about risk of recurrence of symptoms in pregnancy as it is a high risk state for patients with bipolar disorder. Quitipin 50 mg per day is too low a dose. You should consult online or consult with your psychiatrist about pregnancy.

Hi aakash,
oxetol (oxcarbazepine) is one of the medication used for bipolar disorder, but we usually avoid during pregnancy. It can be associated with teratogenic effects. It would be better if you take your psychiatrist opinion before you plan to go ahead with pregnancy planning. The primary psychiatrist whom you are seeing will be in a better position to gauze your wife condition and guide you. Do not take any decision on your own, because stopping medication may cause relapse of the disea...more

I'm suffering from. Bipolar disorder, I take oxetol xr 150 mg single dose on alternate days. My situation has improved from past 10 years. I was diagnosed at the age of 12 with acute transient psychosis later I came to know that it's bipolar disorder. I usually had relapse once in 2 year or 1 year. Currently im taking maintenance dose i.e oxetol xr 150 mg. As a kid I have been always bright in my studies and sports. Medicines that have worked for me are encorate ,dicorate ,aripiprazole whenever I had relapse these medicines dosage have been increased and slowly within 2-3 months I have become normal. I personally feel that I should always take the maintenance dose. I'm working more than any average person, currently working as senior data scientist in mnc. I have done good in sports as well ,played state level tournaments. My current concern is my weight ,i want to maintain a healthy weight my height is 5'7 and my weight is 84. I want to maintain a healthy weight. I'm thankful to the suggestion given by my family psychiatry because of his suggestions and remedies only I have achieved everything in my life. Any suggestions and remedies to maintain a healthy weight will be appreciated. My current dosage is single oxetol xr 150 on alternate days. Is it possible to maintain a healthy weight with this dosage or not? Any ways to at least loose 10 kg weight with this medicine. Please help on this. Thanks in advance.

For reduce weight you have to follow food diet and exercise. Walking is the best exercise. Avoid oily food and more fruits and vegetables soup.

In bipolar disorder there are episodes of mania and depression/ or normal mood. In between the episodes a person is normal. Regarding your gf both are adults and only consensual feelings can move the relationship forward and not one sided feelings for the other. Get your bipolar disorder treated by a psychiatrist and try to achieve optimal functioning in life. Good luck.

Hello doctor, I am a bi polar disorder patient. So I undergone so many episodes. Please tell me about visual hallucination i.e. Imaging ourself as a god and imaging other person as a god. In my episodes I believed strongly this. So I started to talk with unknown persons .so I faced lot of problems. Still now I am not get a answer that visual hallucination is not real. I thought tv serial dialogues, adds, films are also helping me in my life through god. So please please reply me to recover from this thought doctor. My mom helped me lot to recover from this by admitting in hospital and I got recovered now but also still taking medicines like nexito plus, ativan 2 mg, sultipac 50. But in my in-depth mind always saying god helped you is true that is not fake. Those who are all you saw as a god that is only true like this. I am married and I have one daughter aged 7. I had this problem still 2011. For my family I am controlling myself and saying to me ,that is fake it's all your imagination. Please think about your daughter future. And etc. Like this I am controlling myself. So please reply me to overcome from this thought. Please save my life from your valuable reply doctor. Thank you so much.

Dear lybrate-user,
your feelings of imagining yourself as god will be there in your mind. But you act out on it, only during the manic episodes like talking to strangers. Of course, if you act out on it, you will face lot of problems. You may worry about your acting out during depressive episodes - that is also a period in bipolar disorder. Your mother helped you during your previous episodes. Hereafter you can help yourself by knowing about mood disorder, the manic and depressive episodes, ...more

The spotlight effect is a term used by social psychologists to refer to the tendency we have to overestimate how much other people notice about us. In other words, we tend to think there is a spotlight on us at all times, highlighting all of our mistakes or flaws, for all the world to see.

If your problem was due to something wrong in body, it was best treated with medicines. No relief means it is related to underlying psychological problems.
Seek help from a psychologist to identify your problem and get a permanent resolution.

If both parents have bipolar disorder, there's a 50% to 75% chance that a child of theirs will, too. If you already have one child with bp, there is a 15% to 25% chance that another of your children will also have it. If one identical twin has bp, there's about an 85%chance that the other one will as well.
