After she left university, Janine found herself in a depression, but began to notice her moods would switch between highs and lows.
Eventually, her mother told her she needed to see a doctor because she was becoming uncontrollable. The psychiatrist diagnosed her that day with bipolar and put her on a trial drug to manage it.
After about six months, her doctor switched Janine to lithium and Celexa. Over a couple of years, Janine’s dosages slowly increased until she received the second highest dosage of lithium given. Her mom found out about Truehope, and they started on the programme right away.
Janine’s story is about her experience with the drugs she took and her transition to Truehope. She’s been a Truehope customer for over 11 years. She’s married now, and has three children.
