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've been on my new anti psychotic for a little over two years now. With the pandemic, I didn't want to have to go in for blood tests all the time, so I asked my psychiatrist to switch me to something else. I glad I did because the last one wasn't working like it had when I started back in high school. But I've had some weird side effects from it. Some that are rare and some my psychiatrist has never even heard of. You don't have to tell me what they are, but anyone else get weird side effects? I hope you all doing well by the way!

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.
So like everyone else I could go up or down stairs in autopilot but at the last step, either the top one going up or the bottom one going down, I'd have to stop and think about it. I know som e people have something similar with escalators but this was normal stairs. The stairs at home and everywhere else.
You coannot imagine how difficult that made negotiating the stairs on the London underground with about a 1,000 commuters rushing behind me.
On a stabilizer I ended up with an afro and had to come off of it as apparently people had lost their hair on it as a rare side effect
My new med
also has a med in it that is used to dilate the eyes, but my pupils are so tiny you can barely see them. Increased respiratory rate, weight loss (which I love since I gained so much on my last med), oh, and I start to dream before I fall asleep. And when I wake up, my dream continues for a minute or so. Crazy!
