Severe weight gain

This med is crazy expensive if you don't have insurance. It did an excellent job for me though in helping me sleep, preventing mania, and psychoses. However I have ballooned by 50 pounds over the past three years I have been on it. I am starting to exercise and diet now and the cravings for food are very hard to deal with.

PROS:
|
Helps with sleep issues, helps slightly with anxiety, helps with bipolar depression
|
|
CONS:
|
very sedating, weight gain
|
|
Originally started for sleep problems, this product has become a main stay in my medication regime for its help with anxiety and bipolar depression. I highly recommend you try this product if antidepressants are not an option in the treatment of your bipolar I or if you have a co-occurring anxiety disorder.

PROS:

Breaks your thinking
|
|
CONS:
|
Waking panic attacks
|
|
I only took this medication for 1 week for Bipolar Mixture Affective. A break occured in my thinking pattern and I was able to report a matter to the police after 20 years of blaming myself. I thought it was a delusion but when I met an individual, I discovered he was schizophrenic, I thought I had dreamt him up and he was a delusion. Taking this drug made me see the picture and I was able to report a person that took advantage of the person with schizophrenia's situation and friends. It caused a breakup in my thinking pattern and the pieces of my life are coming together. However, the clear insight was quite shocking and I stopped it due to breathing difficulties.

calms me, helps me sleep great

CONS:

stones me out, I would never be able to drive on this med

This med is great when I get really anxious. It takes me down a peg or two, but it is quite sedating.
