And now the personal putdowns and namecalling begin?
Wow, what a shocker! That was quick!
I am not saying avoid proper treatment when neccesary! DUH
I am saying get a second opinion with whatever treatment you decide to go with!
You are responsible for what goes into your body.

Hi there, i have a friend with bi-polar and ive reguarly checked up on what hes taking, a bit of research on what they have prescribed you brings up something to the contrary, i pulled this up for you:
Anti-epileptic medication
Maybe im wrong, but it might be worth having a chat with your GP.
Take care mate.

Second.......you don't have bi-polar. It's called being moody. Doctors/pharmaceuticals just LOVE naming conditions especially when it has to do with our mood.
I highly suggest you get off all drugs and seek and take herbals instead. St Johns Wort for example.
Stop looking for an easy fix (not so much you but the doctor anyway). It's like putting a band aid on a broken bone only, the band aid is riddled with bacteria.
Learn to cope!
People are incapable of coping now a days! It's too laborious! If something doesn't change as quickly as the channels do with a remote control then, it's too much!
