[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660425, member: 1550"] Susie, I dn't t hink ANY doctors understand which medication may be good or bad for somebody!! :) I had to go through a trial and finally hit gold. It took ten years. I had many bad reactions and quit the drugs that gave them to me. I cannot take any other SSRI other than paroxatene, as far as my history shows. Bipolar is serious. I just don't like to tell people not to take medication. We aren't doctors and our experiences are not theirs. A lot of people had horrendous experiences with paroxatene, but it saved my life. My son talked one of his girlfriends into going off Depakote (she was bipolar) and she got psychotic. He meant well. She had some side effects from it. But she needed to modify it, not go off of it. It's a really hard game, since there are no hard and fast rules. CB may have to stay on her medications for the rest of her life. I have. Then withdrawall isn't a problem. I don't want to go back to being that person who was suicidal and non-functional and without my medications I'm like that. I just take it as if I have epilepsy or diabetes and barely think about it anymore. [/QUOTE]
