Bipolar vs other stuff

Post Reply New Topic

I had adverse reactions to most of the meds,Cylexa made me sleep all the time and when I woke up I was mad.Seroquel made me feel drugged and it made my legs stiffen up,Depakote gave me vertigo,if I leaned over I would fall,Lamictal gave me a huge boil and a mouth sore(the doc rolled his eyes at me when I told him I was not going to take that s*it)
Another one tri-something or other gave me severe headaches.Mood stabilizers all make me sick.Now I take Lexapro and Ativan.So far these are the only one that don't give me adverse reactions.They keep pushing group,but not no,hell no.

I also tried Xanax,it made me feel so bad,like the heaviest dark cloud,I know if I took that I'd kill myself.It must make some people feel good,it seems to be what everyone wants,ugh.I also get sick from some food additives,IBS,nausea and vomiting.I have mild mood swings,mostly depressive, but any mood stabilizer is out of the question.One thing that's weird is when I was prescribed an opiate pain killer,instead of making me sleepy I felt energized.I also can't take over the counter pain relievers(except aspirin),they make me have severe bloating and I keep belching air,it's really weird.As I get older the stomach and intestinal problems seem to be getting worse.I had a colonoscopy and it was fine,just severe IBS.I have sensory issues with certain strong smells, and if I'm already nauseous,be prepared for me to vomit.
