What medication are you on? Prozac makes it so you physically can't cry, you just can't. Atleast, thats what Andrew told me.

concerta, neurontin, lithium (made me gain weight like crazy which made me more depressed), lemitcal, ambien (for sleep....it made me hallucinate....scary stuff), ritalin, prozac, wellbutrin, depakote, seroquil and a crap load of other ones i dont even remember.......

After years of being misdiagnosed I've been on
Buspar
Paxil
Prozac
Celexa
Wellbutrin
Doxepin
Zoloft
Xanax and now Depaokote
I was just diagnosed as Bipolar type II and now I'm taking Xanax and Depakote. I have no idea what this is going to do to me as I am new to mood stabilizers. Everything else was for my OCD, anxiety/panic disorder and now I'm finally being treated for Bipolar. o.<
I'm new to this guild and want to learn about others with the disorder and the medications they're taking. ^_^ I really just want to get better. This sucks.

Psychiatrists don't lie, they just make estimates and educated guesses. How long has mental health been in the medical field? Only about a century, I think. In comparison to other medical fields, which have been around for thousands of years. So mental health is just coming out of the dark ages! Think of it this way. All the crap we go through with medication now, improves the lives of bipolars in the future, because they'll have more information, a better understanding, and more experience to work from!
BTW: been on Lamictal for about a month now. LOVE IT! xd

prozac - sucked and ended for me a relationship that lasted over a year because i didn't feel anymore at all, let alone for him... cut to feel, beat on my stomach to cry... not good
trileptol- worked great... covered my body in hives that hurt and itched and made me twitch
(pre-bipolar-diagnosis dayz)
lithium- actually, i never took this. i had the prescription, but luckily my parents decided they wouldn't fill it... i went a year with out meds.
now...
wellbutrin-i just started this on friday and i'm excited about it because it's supposed to be just like meth... and i alway feel like i need to lose weight (everyone says i'm skinny... i weight around 145 but i'm pretty muscular).
neurontin-been on this for a little over two weeks... on 5 pills a day (1500 mgs, second highest dose)... makes me feel all ******** up and tired... doesn't work, but that may be because my body's not adjusted and because it hasn't had time to kick in.

Prozac - my friend is on it for OCD. Lithium - my sister was on it, so were a bunch of friends. Wellbuterin - no coment... Neurontin - 5 pills a day is a high dose for only having been on it for a few weeks.
