My favorites - A tie between Tegretol XR and Seroquel XR. I'm not 100% sure what (if anything) Tegretol XR does for my moods, but it stopped musical hallucinations. That was HUGE! Plus, Tegretol XR doesn't really give me any notable side effects. Seroquel XR is a second favorite because I think it does the main job at keeping me as balanced as possible. I do likely have high cholesterol partly because of Seroquel XR, but that's the only significant negative. Doses of 500 mg and above are not weight neutral, but my weight gain could be far far worse. I truly think that I could be my current weight even if I took no bipolar medications. No one in my immediate family is skinny. I'm actually one of the trimmest. Seroquel XR helps me sleep, but does not give me any morning "hangover" anymore. The deal is, if I take it early (7 pm or 8 pm at the latest) and make an effort to fall asleep before midnight, I wake up raring to go, under normal circumstances. [Note: I am very appreciative of my Levothyroxine and Propranolol, too. They do only good and give me zero side effects.]

Least favorite - Klonopin. Does nothing at my current dose, I don't think, and I hated it at higher doses. I'm only on it because my psychiatrist is worried about withdrawals after 8 years on it. I should have never been left on it to begin with. I am in Klonopin prison.
