I have an awesome pill case:

I love that each day can be taken out to go somewhere.

I am very happy with my meds and honestly the combination is life changing. They found the magic combo when I was hospitalized 15 years ago and within days I was a new, better person.

I was resistant to meds too. And there was this one dose of an atypical antipsychotic that my doc really wanted me at. I was not compliant and would have these episodes of what I call fugue states. Stumbly, slurring, combativeness. It was like I was a different person. Once I became compliant I never had those episodes again. BTW I am BPII, GAD, PTSD,ADHD

Thank you so much for your response, sarahsweets. I really appreciate the detail. I also have a pill container with compartments for each day. It's so convenient for me, especially since I take my meds at different times during the day. I love being able to remove each day and put it in my backpack.

Glad to hear you don't have any bad side effects and that everything is going well for you.
