2. I had a horrible reaction to Lexapro and Trazadone.

Though, it was because they didn't diagnose me as bipolar at first. Lexapro increased my hypomania ten-fold. I don't think you could have gotten a worse manic reaction to medicine, than when I was on Lexapro.

The kicker? When I complained, they upped my doseage to it. Because they did that, I attempted suicide for the first time. That's when he finally decided that I'm bipolar.

Then they put me on a mood stabilizer, but they still prescribed me trazadone. Once I was off trazadone...I was in control. Except for getting the type of depression where you lay in bed all day. They've put me on another anti-depressant and I'm not entirely sure if it's working.

The only time I had a rash on my face/legs/arms is when I had a reaction to an antibiotic. All this makes me wonder how many different pills I've taken in my lifetime...
