In reply to Help? Bipolar hubby - meds sexual side effects, posted by LibbyH on February 24, 2003, at 12:10:47
OMG, I couldn't agree more with Mark. At one point I was also grossly overmedicated (with a bipolar 1 diagnosis), taking 6 meds and completely nonfunctional. It took another psychiatrist almost a year to taper off 4 of the 6 and surprise!, I was almost symptom free. Unfortunately there are pdocs out there who just layer on meds to treat other medication side-effects and not the original illness. Please help your husband get another opinion from a different pdoc so you both can start living a better life. take care, judy
