I deal with BP II, so the only APs I try are the ones also used for bipolar depression (of which I endure a lot).

I do not get along with most meds, of any category. Not only do they not help, I have lots of side-effects.

That said, I am currently using a few psychotropic meds which I do get along with: citalopram, Wellbutrin, Latuda, Adderall. I can just barely function on 4 meds targeting depression.

I am grateful I can tolerate at least a few meds which can, at times, be helpful.
I'd be in deep trouble if meds were not helping at all or I could not tolerate any of them. Most likely, I would have had a very short life.

Good thing all meds are "weight-neutral." I have gained a lot of weight on med trials in the past. Yuck.

I am very sensitive to all kinds of meds, not just psychotropics. My drug allergy list is huge.
