Its so true. The worst part is that if one tries to argue otherwise, it just comes across as a bipolar like "attitude".
The biggest problem, is that for the most part, bipolar meds suck. The AP's and the anticonvulsants, in general would make most normal people feel much worse on a daily basis.
My doctor keeps saying to me, why do you want to quit such and such a med? I feel like saying, "the only way you would understand is if you go home tonight, pop 100mg of such and such, and then come back here tomorrow and try to do your job properly."
