This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I know I'm not really a part of the community here, so anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this...thanks! :-)
I'm about to start a new medication called Symbyax...I've read all about it online, but was wondering if anyone here has taken it and how it's effected them.
I'm weaning down from 600mg of Seroquel...which is only the 2nd med I've tried. It worked for awhile, but recently the symptoms returned, and I never could shake the drowsiness.
So Symbyax...pros, cons?
Thanks again.

is that the one combining lithium/zyprexa or sth else?

you're close...symbyax combines zyprexa and prozac

In my humble opinion, zyprexa is to be avoided if at all possible...Nasty side effects. abilify/geodon less shocking to the system.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
