I really freaking hate new meds.....like really really really hate them. They barely ever work and I always feel like crap from the side effects. How can you be so damn sensitive to everything and yet nothing work?t makes no freaking sense. I have been on every single med there is I think...at least every one I have read about that pdocs give for bp, I have tried. I This one (Tegretol) takes up to a month to work, and I have been on a derivative of it before (Trileptal) but she wants me to try it again because its been years since they tried that one, and it makes me extremely sleepy all of the time, which is kinda good because at least I am sleeping at all, but I need to get things done and I havent been able to do anything, and I am still cycling like crazy so even when I am manic its like a mixed episode instead of a good manic, and mixed episodes, for those of you who dont have them....really really suck. They are both good and bad and happy and sad and irritated and calm...all at the same time....grr.
Anyways, I am glad its not 9 million degrees anymore, that helps some. I would be twice as pissed if it was hot too. I need to move to the Artic Circle, not freaking South Florida....ugh. I hate this med...did I mention that? But at least my hair isnt falling out and I am not sweating even in the AC like I was with the Lithium, but then again, at least the Lithium worked...but yeah I know...give it time...blah blah blah. Can I throw something at my pdoc next time she says that to me? Will she Baker Act me? haha

I too hate the start of new meds & hopefully I can keep my lithium a while. It does seem too take forever to find something to work & once you do someone want's to try something 'new' hate that too!
I hope this one helps you and u can stop cycling & feeling better it sucks to feel like know what it is but cant fix it....I am new around here I hope to get to know everyone better...hang in there!
This is one major reason I really don't want meds....I get all the funky side effects that like 1% of the population gets.
God could not be everywhere, so
