Let me introduce my self. I got diagnosed with bipolar about a year ago after a bad manic episode. When I was younger I used to kick down door, punch walls, flip tables, get into fights, start stuff for no reason....Also take into context that is what my father does so I saw it growing up.

I went to a mental hospital, put on 900-600mg Seraquil and 1000mg Depakote. Made me feel HORRIBLE. Spaced out, drugged, like I was about to pass out. I took my self off of seraquel, felt better. I lowered to dose for Depakote to 500mg, felt a litle better but not much. Was put on 15-10mg of Abilify, felt a bit better and had a lot more engery. I cut my self off completely from the Depakote then stayed on the abilify. I was have sexual side effects at 23. Thats not normal.

I got off of everything completely in Sep.

Just started seeing a new doc who i finally trust. He put me on Lamictial. 25mg right now, then 50mg for 2 weeks, and were going to take it from there.

My questions are, what are the chance of hair loss- That is one of my biggest concern,

Also what about sexual side effects, I was reading and some people say there sex drive is out of control on it, and others opposite (Mainly when combined.)

I Started this Jan 15th, take it in the morning.

Experiences, advice?

Thanks

Chris
