They invariably make me sleepy and apathetic. I fear the long-term side-effects as well, and have found their efficacy for the short term of questionable value.
Sometimes I wonder if the drugs are the source of rather than the cure for my problems.
Right now my mood is stable -- I'd love to adjust my medicines to give me more enjoyment out of life (I'm not sad, but not much excites me), and more clarity of mind. I've been on Lamictal and Celexa so long I don't even remember what it's like to be drug free and my mind and memory sharp (as they used to be).
