what are you taking out of curiosity?
isnt the main thing for bp to treat mania psychosis and major depression?
i've heard that antidepressants can trigger mania in bp...
antidepressants have never done me good, never worked or helped much...

i was diagnosed with bp in the beginning but i argued and argued with that because I have never expereinced mania! how can i be bipolar if i only experience depression.... also i dont think that i have any problems with psychosis, but who am i to say? even though my therapist says I am the expert on me

only we know how the medications effect us, docs can know a bunch but cant know how we feel without asking us.....

Im also diagnosed with ADHD... but they are discussing putting me on meds for it atm and hopefully at my next appointment they will let me try... i hate how the focus and inattention effects me

if you do quit them meds don't quit cold turkey.... try tapering off... if you cant talk to a doc to help you...
but maybe is just in order to change the meds to something better...

marijuana is the one thing that helps ME the most, its calming, helps me depression, and helps me focus....
