Fish oil helps me too, but most other bipolar drugs make things a lot worse.
Lithium and depakote eventually led to intollerable apathy and depression. Similar with most other anticonvulsants.
The AP's led to intollerable apathy, as well as intense amotivational problems. I don't understand who can tollerate these drugs? They make me feel like I weight 1000 pounds, and they totally kill any interest or motivation to do anything.
It doesn't really matter if used for long or short periods of time. They seem to lock me into a permanant low.
I would just tend to think that if a patient were really bipolar, that they would end up feeling better on bipolar meds.
