> Quilter - thanks for the tip. I think I found what you were talking about and if I filled everything out correctly, I think I'm going to receive a life chart. I didn't see anything about the calendar. Did it automatically arrive with the chart? Thanks again ksvt
I have been using a calendar kind of thing I got from the Stanley Bipolar Foundation to chart moods, meds, sleep, monthly cycle, and side effects. They also supply a Life Chart to keep track of long term patterns and med history. I haven't tackled the Life chart but the calendar has been invaluable since my med cocktail got so complicated.

I'm not bipolar but it still really helps anyway. I also make a list before I see my pdoc so I don't forget what I intended to cover with her.
