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.
So I'm still on Clozaril despite all the negative side effects. I'm sleeping too much, go to bed early & sleep til noon. The worst part is that I'm so dizzy I can hardly stand. My caregiver asked my regular doc to prescribe Meclizine for me, but I take so many pills already, I hate to take one more (I don't even take Tylenol unless I absolutely have to). Other than that I'm OK.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
Did you recently go up on the dose? I think for me it's an adjustment phase when the pdoc ups my meds.
i'm such a hard patient to treat my mental heath dr suggested that i get treated at a larger mental health clinc. so really i dont get much treatment at all. its just me now. no treatments my hmo justs monitors me to make sure i dont kill myself. the best therapy so far is this site i learned so much by helping others, my experience is vast, i had several traumas i can help most people here on this site, i can go just about any where , i can help because im a survivor, i'm still here after having a very hard life. tonight im visiting you people , got to say i feel your pain to, and if i can help i'll gladly do that, just want to say the brain is the most complex organ in the Galaxy, to my drugs can really alter the chemical balance inside it. when it gets to the point it lowers your quality of life instead of improving it i think they went to far.
