I guess you’re having this problem on the downside. That would be hard.

I’ve started lithium to try to cut this out
I know someone who has been on seroquel a long time. She acts as though she is not bipolar at all. I was on buspar, for anxiety :-(. Doctor took me off it was very heavy but that's not what made me sleep. Cogenton for side effects. And, heldol decimate which is for schizo, I'm bipolar schizo effective tblhey are not even treating me for bipolar anymore.
