Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
All the best. ( Lots of weird side effects do happen but they don't like publicising them till after )
Sometimes it will go away after a few weeks...sometimes it doesn't
Sometimes it means the dose is too high.
I was sick like dog on 1000 mg of Depakote
at 750, I do ok...not grand , but ok
I've been nauseous for about a week or so now. I'll go on spurts where i'm just ugh and sick and others where i'm fine. Sometimes with the Nausea, it helps me to have pretzels or something really porous like bread or crackers. it helps to soak up that stomach acid a little and it can help. and it doesn't stop me from eating either unfortunately
Definitely talk to your doctor it could just be a medication tweek!
still better than the seroquel that made me zombie like!
Good luck and hope this helped a little.
Personally there's not a lot of medication I can actually take so I have to stick with this. And in reality it is helping at least slightly more than other meds were before. So I have no desire to go off of it. And I"m not sick all the time, just when I'm over heating, too cold or jostled around too much. Needles to say I won't be going on roller coasters any more.
Now, I only have to take Lithium, Tegretol and Nortriptyline to my relief.
If I have to add anymore meds, I will scream!!!
