I have been diagnosed with rapid-cycling Bipolar and am very nervous about the potential side effects of medications. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experiences with me regarding medications for treating Bipolar.
I have read many stories from people who have had negative experiences on meds, yet have not read about anyone who has successfully been able to manage their disorder without side effects and/or a worsening of symptoms. I would like to believe that there *are* success stories out there, as it would make me less wary about treating my own condition with meds.
Any information would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration!
