Hi, Bipolar One! While I'm no doctor, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of your meds having those side effects. Most of us here know how the psych drugs can have negative side effects, and will sympathize.

I can't say you should self-medicate with marijuana, because that could have long-term effects to your health, but I'm not against marijuana as a possible, better choice.

Maybe you should see another doctor for a second opinion.
