[QUOTE="Wish, post: 735176, member: 23140"] I am bipolar with extensive history that is now under control. I've tried every medicine in the book. I will only now take a few now. Lithium which is great but you need to have regular blood work done to monitor levels. I can't stress how important that is because if it goes over a certain level, it becomes life threatening. However, as long as blood levels are checked, lithium works wonders for me. I love lithium. The next two are latuda and lamictal, I feel pretty ok with those too. I vary between three of these medications every few years. My psychiatrist asks me too, years ago, what I want to try, I trust him. Medicines I stay away from are seroquel (massive, massive weight gainer) and abilify (works great for derpession but amps up my anxiety to level 100). This is just all just my personal experience of course. What works for me may not work for others. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
