I feel so fortunate that it works so well for me.
I've met other people who couldn't take it.
The side effects are sometimes annoying, but I take a low dose
of ativan when I need to counter them and then I feel normal.
I never needed medication until my daughter had her first battle
with bi polar mania...now I can't imagine my life with out meds.
I'd just stay in bed all day and cry which does my daughter no good.
