Question

Answer 1

Under a doctor's care, try to take the least amount of medication you can. Take it regardless of your immediate sense of wellness; a consistent dosage is what will keep you balanced.
Be pro-active about it...research the side effects of any meds prescribed and ask your doctor the tough questions that he or she might not offer up front.

All meds for bi-polar disorder have side effects. All can be addictive either physically, emotionally, OR even spiritually.

Tell your doctor up front that your desire is just to get balanced, hopefully learn coping skills, and then be weaned off the meds.
