Question

i am bipolar and have been taking lithium,effexor,and xanax faithfully.....why isnt this kicking in?i am at the end of my rope.....i have been on these for weeks.....

Answer 1

I have heard that some of these drugs may take time to work. It could also be that your life or environment could be more stressful than usually. Of course, contact your physician and inquire about how long it may take for these drugs to have the desired effect.

Answer 2

are you sure your suppose to be mixing all that? are you completely sure your bipolar? sorry i know im suppose to be answering not asking...um...not everything works 4 everybody,if you did extensive blood work & know 4 a fact u r bipolar then,i would talk to my dr.i did the effexor thing aftermy baby was born -i hated it.you must take it at exactly the same time everyday or its like pms from hell if u r an hour late-also it takes a few wks to get in your system good-but for your sake dont follow anyones advice here-TALK TO YOUR DR!!!! good luck to you ,hope u feel better

Answer 3

I do not know how to answer your question and will not pretend like I do but I do know how you feel.I am the same way and am not on medications miss.I have my bad times and this is one of my good times because I care about what you have to say.All I can say seriously is do not think about it much.Life sucks yes and once you realise that it will be all better.Is there an answer for any question you have?And is there an answer to taking pills?No there isn't.Trust me I am not some GOD freak trying to show you the ''truth'' I am an atheist but coming from one messed up person to another drugs do not work.They only make you think they work why do you think companies try so hard to advertise their product?Because they do not care about you only your money.I learned to cope with my crap and if you want help from one messed up person to another then email me because I honestly know what you are going through.AND YES THIS IS A SERIOUS ANSWER NOT SOME STUPID ANSWER.But that is your choice to come up with.Just know I am here not to say ohhhhhhh it will be all better but I am here if you honestly want help

Answer 4

if they don't help don't take them, nothing is better than getting to be you anyway, you are the only you no matter how manic or depressed you are you can always find things in life to make things bearable, also if you smoke weed, that causes the symptoms of bi polar disorder after long term use. and if that is what is causing you to feel the way you do, pills wont help. they are for a chemical imbalance in your brain, and if you don't have an imbalance then you are just taking those pills for nothing

Answer 5

talk to your Dr. about possibly tring different meds let him no that those are not working or maybe he could up your doses on some and the pills do take a while to flat line I am not bi polar but have other issues and it took about 4 months to find the right drugs and for them to work just hang in there hon and work it out

Answer 6

You probably realize that some medications take longer than others, but if it is taking longer than expected I would definetly check with my doctor. You may need to just change to another medicene. If this doctor doesn't help you then you may need to get another one. You will feel better once you are on the right medicene and on it regularly.

Answer 7

I am also bipolar its hard. but i never found a pill that workked right everyone had a different side effect. You just need to be strong mentally and make sure you remeber there is a reason WHY?

Answer 8

Answer 9

It sounds like you may be taking too many drugs at one time.

Answer 10

Maybe it's gonna take longer to "kick in".Call your doc and tell him.
