olanzapine
My husband without my knowledge was skipping some days of taking his olanzapine. He had a psychotic episode. The PA filling in for a dr was taking him off some meds (depakote) and up with others. Nothing was working so I requested a dr. He was originally on 5 mgs. The dr. Put him back on depakote and

Aripiprazole and fibromyalgia

Back sliding and really scared
Since increasing my lithium dose before Christmas, my symptoms had been so much better, only having mild lows for a stretch of six weeks. I was still having the two to three week rapid cycling bipolar cycles, but my downs had been very mild. But this cycle it is back with a vengeance. Have felt horrible

Hello everyone 2
I finally quit taking Cymbalta. My vision was really starting to suffer. The uncontrollable muscle movements were keeping me up so many nights. For years I was taking it mainly due to the pain relief part. I talked to a Dr. I didn't taper off like planned. I feel so much better. I was on it for years

New to group and a survivor with encouragement!
They called it schizo-affective
disorder
,
bipolar
type 2, put me on about a million medications and sent me home. Long story short, I have spent the last 20 years dealing with medications, side effects, and a huge struggle to live life.

Bipolar II what does hypomania feel like?
Hey folks, I've been diagnosed with bipolar II but I do not have traditional hypomania symptoms. I wanted to know if anyone else relates to this. I do not have elevated mood or the lack of need to sleep. However, I have intense goal oriented activity, agitation and extreme anxiety, I can't sleep even

Valproate: new safety and educational materials to support regulatory measures in men and women under 55 years of age
I don't think there is any reason to expect many members to be taking any form of Valproate, but this is such an important issue, with such significant consequences, I've decided to post it anyway. Even if you are not taking it, someone you know might be. [i]

Afraid of taking medications for anxiety
Hello, I am going through so much anxiety about being dependent on the numerous medications that my psychiatrist prescribed. I have schizoaffective disorder. One day it just happened and I was diagnosed in 2020. Just wondering if anyone out there feels the same way. I find myself pacing out of anxiety

Can you help with observations.
I guess my question is : is my daughter being weighed down by unnecessary medications which are being prescribed to her so that a box can be ticked. I am concerned about the health of her liver etc. She is 45 and has been suffering since the age of 15. It is a form of BPD . The problem as I see it is

Prepping for Round 2
Hello ladies! I’m planning to start a second IVF cycle in January (when I’ll turn age 40!) and feeling hopeful. First cycle was BFN with short protocol so we are trying long protocol this time with Nafarelin (Synarel) nasal spray and Menopur. Has anyone had luck with this combo? Also we had the option

Got my bipolar 1 diagnosis!
Thank you everyone for giving me support every time I write here (which is a lot) I just got my bipolar 1 diagnosis and feel so relieved. Been desperate to know what’s wrong with me for years, passed around to many psychiatrists and now have it in writing. It was really important for me to know after
