My 12 year old has asthma and has good and bad years. Her asthma seems to be linked with the amount of flu/cold/viral infections she gets in any given year. This past year she has had strep, viral infection, sinusitis, and several viral infections consecutively. She has been hospitalized for masks and has taken 3 course of antibiotics, Prednisone, ventolin puffers, nasonex, and has recently been switched from flovent to advair. Since taking advair, she can't sleep, she has severe headaches every day, her vision is blurred, her asthma doesn't seem to be better, it seems worse, she loses her voice regularly and is up in the night crying because of pain in her throat.

I'm at my wits end as to what to do for her. This has disrupted our lives and she has missed a significant amount of school. She has currently no quality of life to speak of as she is always at home not feeling well.

I'm looking for some help.

I have only been on lithium carbonate - 500 mg a day - for a month now, but experience no side effects, other than the mild nausea I experienced during the first two weeks of treatment and which has now stopped. I feel much better, like a sane person for the first time in many years. Make no mistake, BPD is a really shitty brain disorder, there are no benefits from it whatsoever. Even when you are on an "up" with BPD it's delusional. You think you are doing great work or whatever, but that's just your own mistaken impression. With BPD you so doubt yourself, not only when you are on a low but also when you think you are on a high, that you become depressed and furiously angry, because you know there is something not right with you. This anger and self disgust feeds the disease even more. I feel more motivated and less angry on lithium carbonate. One of the masks that BPD wears is Narcissistic personality disorder. Things that cooking and cleaning up are beneath you. These days I quite like cooking a nice meal, and have no objection to cleaning up any mess, as long as I created most of it in the first place. Hell, if i continue to feel this good about myself, I might even volunteer for a soup kitchen. You don't find many Narcissists there!
I was told to take 250g morning and evening, but find I function better when I take a double dose in the morning.
Is my hair going to fall out eventually? I don't know. I don't really care all that much, as I never had great hair in the first place, and tend to wear wigs which are very close to my own hairstyle - few people can tell the difference, other than commenting on how great my hair looks when I wear a wig. You can look quite pretty in bandanna style scarves too, you know.

At first I was convinced that venlafaxine was a godsend after so many other anti-depressants failed to help me. However, i soon came to realise that i was becoming increasingly dependant on the drug as the side effects after missing a tablet were completely unbearable. not only does my depression come back with avengence, the dizziness and blurred eyesight has an immense effect on my day to day life. An hour after taking the drug again, however, I'm fine. being this dependant on such a drug will never help me overcome my depression, it just masks it. i want and need off this drug, it's pure evil.
