Meg,
A little time (hours, days) of aggravation is usually a good sign that the remedy is correct; but if you cant handle the change i suggest that you use a lower dose of the same drug- 200c<1M,
good luck,

Two things that could be happen to you: 1) Stramonium is the right remedy and the potency is too high.

2)Cause is a high potency , you could be 'proving' the remedy

Either one or another i advice you to stop taking it and observe/look for the improvement.Hopefully its your remedy....

IF you took 2,3 doses it could be enough.

good luck

Hi meg
i am away from my office after 17.08.07 i will cantact you back ok

look after your self

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by manic episodes, the 'high' of the manic-depressive cycle. A bipolar patient experiencing mania often has feelings of self-importance, elation, talkativeness, increased sociability, and a desire to embark on goal-oriented activities, coupled with the characteristics of irritability, impatience, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and a decreased need for sleep. Usually this manic period is followed by a period of depression, although a few bipolar I individuals may not experience a major depressive episode. However, these individuals are usually characterized as mild, moderate, or severe without psychotic features. Mixed states, where both manic or hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms occur at the same time, also occur frequently with bipolar I patients (for example, depression with the racing thoughts of mania). Also, dysphoric mania is common (mania characterized by anger and irritability). Catatonic features occasionally occur. Two of the following must be present for the bipolar I diagnosis to move into bipolar I with catatonic features:1. motor immobility; 2. excessive, purposeless motor activity that is not caused by external stimuli; 3. extreme negativity or mutism; 4. inappropriate or bizarre postures, movements, mannerisms, or grimaces; 5. repetitive or echoing speech patterns.

Bipolar II disorder is characterized by major depressive episodes alternating with episodes of hypomania, a milder form of mania. At least one hypomanic instance must occur before the bipolar II criteria are met. Bipolar depression may be difficult to distinguish from a unipolar major depressive episode

Meg, first of all Hpathy is a method of stimulating the vital energy force to overcome the imbalance we call disease. (in any form.) Once this vital force has been stimulated there is no need to keep taking a remedy, ad nausium. If you are advised to do so it is usually by someone that has been trained in and thinks allopathicly. The two methods are compatable only in acute stages. Your case is not acute but constitutional, affecting the emotional part of human makeup and needs to be treated carefully.
When a correct remedy has been taken the first response is a clearing of the mind/emotions, a feeling of lightness or brightening of being.
A partially correct remedy will bring slight relife coupled with a worsening of symptoms. Repeating a partially wrong remedy will increase symptoms and make you feel bad for a long time. A wrong remedy will do nothing at all.
Read up on Anacardium, Stramonium, and Tarentula Hispania to see if you match your mind symptoms as well as your physical ones. Take no ones advice untill you are certain you are being prescribed the right remedy.
I hope this helps to clarify what you are looking for.
Regards

Meg, there is no need to be scared. With Hpathy the effects and some discomfort wear off soon, unless taking continued doses in high potencies, (30c and higher) for months on end you really have nothing to worry about. Because of the Internet there are some who claim to be Doctors but are not familiar with the finer points of this method of healing. The knowlege is limited hearsay, experimental, and mixed theories. I commend you on your caution because there needs to be a distinction between an acute disease where repete dosing can be used and constiutional prescibing, where multiple remedies and frequent repetition is not helpfull at all.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
Best regards

It is better to leave it to someone who does know what to look for because its rare that we can see the remedy required at the time. Our mental/emotional outlook changes with remedies, right or wrong. An acute disease is 'whatever is doing the rounds' Flu, food poisoning, Mumps, ect. Your symptoms are a result of your constitutional makeup , as such are not 'acute' in the Hpathic sense.
200c potencies can be quite high in a constitutional sense but low in an acute situation. This is assessed by the practitioners experience whether to give high or low potencies, dependent on the patients vitality, which could be strong or weak.
The difficulty you face is trying to find a good one,not all Homeopaths are on the same level or practice the same way.
Find one that practices 'one remedy at a time, wait and see the result' and takes a full case. This could take more than a couple of hours for the first consultation and could be expensive but if the results you want happen, why count the cost. Best wishes.
