Hi Phil,
I'm not bipolar just severe unipolar but I can really simpatize about hating the meds. I too have to hold my nose every night and just chug them down. The side effects? Ug! And who knows what they really are. I mean you get to the point that you can't differentiate between yourself and the meds. I hate it. But I don't think I can live without them. At least right now. My therapist keeps saying that when I get stronger psychologically I won't need them or at least not as many- I think I'm on 7- good god. I don't know if he's right or not. But I do know that I need them right now. I keep tinkering- a little less of this one, let's try a little less of that one. It's always been a disaster. At least at this point. And who knows how much good they are doing? All I know is I feel worse when I decrease any of them. I know. It s*cks. But if you're stable.... you may need to stick with them. There's certainly no harm in exploring options with a pdoc you like. What a shame about the one in the hospital.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Zana
