Bipolar Disorde
"Was prescribed med to treat Bipolar 2. Even taking half a dose, meds made me drowsy, actually more like sedated, as some call it &quot;zombie feel&quot;.  On the third day, I noticed short term memory loss and I couldn&#039;t articulate my thoughts efficiently, had this cloudy, foggy mind. I was hoping meds my body would adjust but even after couple of weeks, I seemed the side affects got more severe.  Plus I gained 5lbs in a week and noticed my energy level was down, HR up. I&#039;m an Ironman triathlete so I copiously monitor my health and this drug decreases my performance. 

Finally, I had to call my Dr to get another option.   It did calm me down and I didn&#039;t have any mania or depression, just the side effects were to great for me to continue."
