Ugh, meds for bipolar have been mostly a disappointment for me... I hated abilify, it made me feel so nuts, agitated and suicidal, and it gave me that thing like restless leg syndrome where the body feels so uncomfortable, and I paced a lot. I'm ok with the lithium for now. Zoloft sounds good haha, I havent tried that one yet. Wish I could get xanax, but pdoc said no to that one for me.
But it can take some time to get meds right for bipolar, everyone reacts so differently to them. It sucks how you have to just wait it out... but that's all you can do. Keep us posted, here or the BP forum
