My doctor reduced my medications I take for my bipolar on Thursday and it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I feel sick to my stomach, I am dizzy and very tired. I keep waking up at night. Last night I walked into the wall. My moods are swinging. Yesterday my husband said he doesn't know if I am going to get through this. I ate an entire lemon meraine pie in one day. I never did that before in my life. Please think of me and give me any ideas you can think of to get me through this period. I dont want to go back to being a walking zombie again.

Oh man that is tough. Have you talked to him about getting on some other types of medications? I have a cousin who has the same problem. She says she feels like a zombie when she is on the meds, but can't stand being off of them. She is in the process of going to one of the major hospitals in her city to see what else she can do. Keep me posted.

Just be careful and make sure you let your doctor know everything you are experiencing with each change in medications. I hope that things will get adjusted so that you feel better. I know it is not easy getting things adjusted sometimes, but its worth it in the end to find just the right medication that will work best for you.
