I'm bipolar I, and have not been able to take any antipsychotic drugs. They all react horribly with my system. Then also cost for me. Haven't tried one that didn't give me horrific side effects after a few weeks... So my doctor listens to me I know my manic signs and have a stash of sapphires just in case I start getting a little too whacked out... I am on 200 mgs lamotrogine , 2.5 mgs klonopin, and vistaril as needed. I am setting an appt to see her soon, as I feel they need to be adjusted. I guess just be ad open as u can w ur doctor...
