I am bipolar & have been hospitalized for it about 7 times. I am also disabled & have alot of other health problems. I have been vomiting daily for about 7 weeks now. So, its been hard to keep my meds down. Not only that but they are making me gain a ton of weight. The combo of psych meds im on now (Lamictal, Saphris, Lithium, Xanax), have been working better than anything has in awhile. I'm just sick of gaining so much weight & other meds have not worked. So, without telling my doc, I quit taking the Saphris. I emailed her today & told her n she wasnt happy about it. I am just sick of taking them & wanna quit all of them besides the Xanax. Is that stupid of me? I'm just wondering if its worth it for me to take them. Docs are just worried about how out of control I get when manic & how suicidal when depressed. Any thoughts are appreciated....thanks!!!
