Well I'm glad the meds are working! I tried lamictal and got severe mixed episodes. That's just one example of how meds work for some but not others. If this is the only med you are on, chances are you may need to add or increase meds in the future. And some work, and some make you more crazy. It's a trial and error we've all been through! And most meds have side effects like low sex drive or tiredness. But then you have to sacrifice your energy or sex drive for your own sanity. Drop anything that makes you restless because it might cause hypomania. Also, many of us can't take certain or any antidepressants because they also can cause mania. You may need an antipsychotic in the future to help or prevent mania or even psychosis. If you have anxiety with your BP you'll need to add a PRN like a benzo. I could go on for days! I hope I helped some and if you ever have questions feel free to PM me if you're using the tapatalk app. Good luck!
