agree with sanelogic... it can take a while to settle into a med (some upto 3 months for side effects to go away - so if its works, its worth persisting...

everyones different so it takes a lot of trial and error...

Of the choices I think I would go with racing thoughts. I don't want to be a zombie or be paranoid all the time.

Which is a better choice; racing thoughts and paranoia, or zombification?

I chose to stop taking meds that robbes me of emotion and I would choose to stop taking meds that robbed me of energy too.

I tried lots of meds, sometimes being on nasty ones to stay safe, until I got a combo that had minimal side effects and works to mostly control the moods...

If my moods were being controlled, I would just put up with side effects. Depakote is making me sick. I had another bout of vomiting today. It was horrible because I was riding in the car and I had to grab a plastic bag.

When I got home, I could hardly walk. I somehow made it to the bathroom and went for a couple more rounds before I dragged myself to bed for several hours.

I am calling my p-doc tomorrow.
