Hey med_empowered. Thank you, as always, for your attentive, informative and supportive posts :) Yes, they are a concern. I am at the trial & error stage with these as I was only diagnosed with BP in January and I'm 43 years old. Since I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 1998 I was treated with all kinds of AD monotherapy which wasn't the ticket. I've put myself and others at risk with my reckless behaviour, along with having a low quality of life.

I'm choosing to treat my illness with anti-psychotics (as well as Lamictal and Zoloft) at this time, but will remain cautious. Abilify sounds like the ticket, but unfortunately is not available here in Costa Rica. My pdoc wanted me to remain on Zyprexa as it was really working (amazing how life can make sense with the help of one little pill per day) but the weight gain is unacceptable to me.
