it is very easy to end up on the wrong meds. medicating a person is not always easy. just read the boards and theres usually more than one posting a week of members telling how their treatment providers tried them on the wrong meds, or hey are having horrible side effects that clearly show they may need a medication check or medication change....especially when there are so many symptoms that are shared by many mental and physical health problems....

menopause symptoms.....tired, depressed, rapid mood swings, extreme highs, extreme lows, memory problems, other emotional/mental symptoms...

bipolar disorder symptoms.....tired depressed, rapid mood swings, extreme highs, extreme lows, memory problems, and other emotional mental symptoms
Thanks for this!
