Meds are a popular topic

What kind of medications have you tried? Do you find that medications work well for you or has your experience been negative? I find that taking medications have helped me a lot even though some tell me that they disagree with my methods. I often hear that there is a very intense spiritual aspect to the experience of having a mental illness and that it is not an illness at all. So many points of view, Iwould love to hear what you have to say about it!

meds

lithium worked well for years. now i'm on valproic acid and seroquel. seroquel seems to be the clincher. it helps me sleep (which always has been elusive) and i can never seem to go below a certain dosage with out feeling the push to talk nonstop and do everything at once .

I take Lamictol and Zyprexa.

I take Lamictol and Zyprexa. I currently need help with remembering to take them but they work well for me. Adjustments suck though because my episodes get bad.
