Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I'm bipolar (type 2). I posted this in General Q&A but maybe it's better to ask here...


I have tried countless drugs and with every drug I've tried I have had various side effects. The ones I'm currently on make me feel sick to the point where I have trouble eating because I feel nauseous all of the time. I have stayed with these because this combination has the side effects I've been able to tolerate the most. My psychologist has suggested I try a psychiatric service dog to manage my symptoms instead of drugs. My psychiatrist is also supportive of this option. I would of course continue to see my psychologist regularity and check in with my psychiatrist even if I have a service dog.

Has anyone gone this route?
