Hi Americano,
I was wrongfully diagnosed as bipolar and borderline by a doctor once, so be alert. It will save you from medication that you shouldn't be taking. Meds help a lot of people, but not everyone. Be very careful about what you are taking.
There's only one way to find out if they are good for you and which one is appropriate for your condition, through medical assistance. I stress that you keep researching and consulting many doctors if you are not completely stable. Your life is more important than anything in this world, take care!
Ps: I have chronic insomnia, so I used Ambien; but since I realized that it can't be used everyday and it's quite dangerous, I just got off it. I'm struggling a lot. What really helps me right now is my heavy exercise routine and a better diet, have you tried it?
Hope you feel better!
