      Honey, all meds have a laundry list of side effects, and I know how you feel. I have been on and off of soooo many different ones, it is rediculous. The important thing to remember is that most side effects are mild and are realized immediately. The best thing to do is educate yourself on the ones you are being prescribed, and be active in your care. Here for ya any time! Huggles~

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was just diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder on 11/13/07. Before that I was on Anti-Depressants. I have panic attacks, anxiety, etc. I am skeptical about my diagnosis and worried about the meds for bipolar disorder!

      Treatments

      I just started taking. I am worried about side effects.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      At this point I do not know, I just started taking on 11/16/07.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I am taking 2 to 3mg a day to prevent panic attacks. It used to work but now not so well.
