I've been debating stopping Depacote because of side effects. I know the clinic will get mad. Well when things are getting bad, I don't have time for the hassle of dealing with them.

In short, how can I get a job if I am too manic to focus, but too zoombied to do anything. I am trying to figure out a way to start my treatment somewhere else. I don't have many options. I have tried mental health clinic twice and it has not worked. What can I possibly do?
I got violent on Prozac and ended up selling it. ADs tend to be rough on bp. I wouldn't stop meds without supervision. I'm in the same boat as you, unable to get help and on meds with side effects I can't stand - AND they're not working well... I wish I could help you.
