I’m on an AP alone currently. Haven’t had psychosis for years. But there are side effects. Metabolism syndrome and weight gain. But the stability I have is worth it.

Hi Nammu, your input is always appreciated. I read on your profile you're bipolar as well... being on AP only would be my dream, but my doc makes me feel like that is unthinkable, that bipolar disorder and mood stabilizers must go hand in hand. What is metabolism syndrome? Is it hard on you? Thanks.
