Hi friends,

Once again, I'm having bipolar medicine problems. My system has become so sensitive. My pdoc is frustrated and is doing the best she can. I go to see her tomorrow and I just dread telling her what's happening.

I was allergic to lamictal and tegretal. My colitis couldn't handle lithium, and carbatrol is making me nauseus, have abdominal pain, skin peels, sweats, etc.

I have no idea of other meds to suggest to her. I have the milder form of bp, so I don't need the "harder" drugs. Do you have any suggestions? I am so afraid she's going to say there's nothing out there, and believe me, I cannot manage my bp without meds.

Please help.

Thanks,

Jan
