      Abilify Not Working
      Severe side effect of GI pain. Stopped taking.

      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      I am no longer on. I think it may have been helpful but I really am not sure.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      Works when I am manic. I don't know how well it does when I am depressed. Unsure............ I am going up and down quite a bit. Perhaps it is the move and normal stressors.............. perhaps not.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      EMDR very helpful for me. Cognitive therapy somewhat helpful. General counseling helpful some of the time.
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      Helped with anger. The anti-pissed off pill. I am no longer on. Skipped periods when I was on.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Helps me to sleep when I need to. Helps reduce mania. Side effect: increased appetite..I gained 10 pounds in one month. Zombie/dragging feeling in the morning. Worked well when manic.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      This took the edge off of depression for years when diagnosed with depression. It has not worked well with BP meds. It brings me up, but that agitated up.
