Hello,
Could I ask you something about your Bipolar? I'd like to known which pharmaceuticals you are taking.

okbrightstar In reply to PropagandaStamps [2015-10-17 23:18:09 +0000 UTC]

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response. I'm currently taking Bupropion (an antidepressant, also known as Wellbutrin), and Lamictal (a mood stabilizer). I used to be on Lithium (a different mood stabilizer), but it didn't work very well for me and started giving me some dramatic muscle weakness as a side effect so I switched to Lamictal. Now that I'm on a high enough dose it's worked wonders. I've finally stopped rapid-cycling and when I do have episodes the depressive ones are milder and shorter. It doesn't control mania as well though, so I also have Zyprexa (an anti-psychotic medication) on hand, to keep hypomanic episodes from escalating to full-blown mania, since that's a large risk with type 1 Bipolar. I'm highly sensitive to Zyprexa thankfully so I don't have to take much of it to cut off my manic episodes.
Hope that helps. If you have any other questions just let me know. :) (Smile)

Yep, I am. I've been battling tendonitis for a few months now though so I haven't been able to write or draw much unfortunately. Thanks for the fav and the watch btw. ;) (Wink)

okbrightstar In reply to snowstar4567 [2014-09-07 05:11:39 +0000 UTC]

Yep. At the moment I'm just finishing off the epilogue for my latest fma fanfic By Affliction of Emotion. After that I have an Envy centric fic in the works that I hope to finish and start posting pretty soon. And, with any luck, I'll get the sequel to Uninvited Company written at some point. It's already about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way done. It just isn't my highest priority. And of course the tendonitis slows down the whole process. I post all my stories to Fanfiction.net long before I get around to posting them anywhere else, so if you're curious you could check them out there. :) (Smile) The links are in my journal.

As for art, I can't see myself doing much in the way of fanart anytime soon. Except book covers and such for my fanfics. I'm leaning more towards working on original art from now on. I've started selling prints recently and you can't really sell fanart to the general public. Anime fans are few and far between where I live anyway. Sweating a little...
