I have a big fear of taking meds at least new ones, I have bipolar 1 and the doctors don't want to give me SSRI anti depressants, Which is fine with me they make me go manic, I am on 3,000 MLG of Depakote and I take klonopin, But the Depakote has made me gain loads of weight, I want off of it, Is any one on Tegratal and does it work for Bipolar 1, My doctor is always trying to put me on latuda, I absolutely refuse, I will not take drugs new on the market, I have been a guinea pig for all kinds of drugs and I am sick and tired of it
