Hi - I have only tried Lamectal so far for bipolar, and stopped because i was so drowsy and zero sex drive. I'm scared to try another one. My son tried risperdal when they thought he only had depression, it didnt help him. Now he takes seroquel, when i can get him to take it.
I think you should tell your doctor you're not comfortable with that new medicine, be honest. Is there one that worked before that you could try again?
Sorry if i'm not much help i'm new on here, but want to help. And i'm having insomnia too. Good Luck at the appointment tomorrow
