Ah! Side affects. 🤔 hmm! Not good. I have tried so many meds, I’ve lost count. Side affects for me were really bad. Are you feeling ok going off them? @Gazza75 

[Gazza75]

[Shaz51]

@Former-Member I have only had 2 meds for Bipolar 2, maybe some more last year when  I was at my worst. I have been fine for a year, should have come off them sooner. Am very frightened of what's happening to me, more than my medical condition. Think I might be misdiagnosed, I had a breakdown, but not sure I am Bipolar. Main prob for me is weight. 

Glad you got some nice clothes for yourself. 😀:ok_hand:🙏

[Gazza75]

Awwww thanks @Shaz51  that's very kind of you. I had blood tests recently,, was told to eat walnuts.

Try not to worry overly about your own tests Shaz. I have all my good bits crossed for you. Both 😀♥️

[Former-Member]

If you think it was a breakdown and not bipolar, then I think go by your inner feelings. 

I do my own research mostly. After seeing many doctors, specialists etc etc etc, I decided to read a lot of books from the library. 

Medications have been terrible for me. I hope you can find some answers for yourself. 

I understand how frustrating it can be when medications aren’t helping. @Gazza75
