Q: Side effects of bipolar meds

I avoided taking my medications for 8 years because the side effects (lethargy and sexual) made life unbearable and I choose to be in denial and take no meds. Now I was hospitalized recently and read about bipolar and am no longer in denial, but I just can't live with those side effects either. Is anyone going through this and are there any answers, especially homeopathic ones?

Hey there,

I can surely relate to this, constant tiredness, memory loss, weight loss or gain, terrible nightmares, no sex drive etc. but some meds do make it a little bit easier and a bit more bearable(experiment with different tabs by consulting your doctor bout all these side affects), have you tried different tabs or always been on a specific 1?
