Bipolar Disorde
"this medication simply does not work! I have been on it for 7+ years and I have only gotten worse. my symptoms have gone from mild to severe. All they do is increase the dosage and now I&#039;m on the maximum dose. I relapsed last week and I found myself wandering around aimlessly in a parking lot. I have become more paranoid and delusional. Not to mention the side effects- uncontrollable bowel movements, extreme tiredness, low energy, low libido, muscle pain, chest pain, ect, ect... It is almost impossible to get off this medication once you are on it for a while. I&#039;ve talked to my doctor- sent him letters and he will not change the medication. And I&#039;ve called other p-docs and no one can see me or even answer the phone. Time for a switch."
