Hi there. Oh my word, you are in a bad way aren't you. I am not taking the med you've mentioned, but I have over the last 33 years tried many many Psych meds with various side effects. I'm not medically trained, so can only speak as someone who's been '' experimented '' on for many years. On the whold most of the meds I've had prescribed were trial runners, experimental. I knew this and was happy for this to go ahead. Every med had some kind of side-effect, from mild to adverse and frightening. However, I felt it was well worth it if it would help just one more person, many did I add. I found mood stabilisers very helpful, in my case being Depokote and Quitiapine (Seroquel), these two I take to this day and they also help a great deaL with my sleep. I think that if a new med causes you horrible radical effects, you contact a Dr straight away, just to stay safe. Good luck and I hope you manage to find a med which is CORRECT for YOU! HUGS. XXXXX
Thanks for this!
