My symptoms are: Fatigue, Muscle and Bone pain, back pain, and frequent stomach/bowel problems. I am tired of hurting every day. I am also Bipolar and take Effexor XR, Lamictal, and Desyrel. I have rently started taking Magnesium to see it it helps the pain. I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Dear andieange, I also am bi polar undiagnosed (after suffering for 20 years) until 2000. I suffered from all your stated symptoms and more. Then along came a drug called trileptal. I am only on that twice a day. No longer do I have to take five different drugs each day. Please ask your doctor to give it a try. Get off all that other medicine as some of your pain could be caused by side effects of the medicines. Give it a try and I"ll be praying for you. God bless.

Go see a holistic medicine/nutritionist. You should be tested. There is an energy test that indicates what you are lacking and what you have too much of in your body. Might be something as simple as metals or yeast in your body making you ill. You probably need to cleanse, depending on what your body has/needs. I have even seen at times that allergies can cause Bipolar symptoms. Physicians generally use band-aids, they don't practice much preventative medicine or internal. Take care & feel good!

Well, it seems like your doctor likes to prescribe drugs! Take it from me- find a new doctor. I had been suffering from similar problems for years- and I lost count of the number of doctors I went to. I've finally found a private practice with two really, really great doctors who are starting to help me. You need to have a good blood work-up done to start with- and make sure that they test you for Lupus, which can entail ALL of these symptoms, and is easily overlooked by doctors.

Have you ever done a search online for some side effects for those meds?
http://www.drugs.com/
I've has several doctors that don't listen, just find one that will. Are they at least doing some kind of tests/blood work on you?
And DO NOT cut back on your meds unless your doctor advises, not what some idiot on yahoo answers advises. Some drugs when stopped suddenly can cause seizures. Geez, would love to know how those idiots get through life

Holy moly! all those pills huh. I think you're getting some bad side effects from all these pills maybe. Those are common symptoms for those medicines, maybe you should cut back a little on them to see what happens.

Well doctors would be able to see if there was anything seriously wrong with you. But they can be wrong. If you are that worried get a second opinion.
