Being bipolar?!


Question: Being bipolar!?
I was dx with bipolar around4 years ago!.
I have many meds to take I finally have accepted this illness but the tirdness from the meds is horrible!.
People always say you sure sleep a lot!.
I was always making excuses not anymore I say yes I am tired and you are more than welcome to try my meds!.
I hate being so tired and taking naps but it is either not take your meds and getsick or take your meds and function!.
The doc knows these meds make you tired and believe me I have tried almost all of them!.
Does anyone have this problem!?
Just to have my engery back like I used to before all the meds!.
How do you cope!?
ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
my sister has bipolar disorder and she used to sleep a lot, but she switched meds, (curses, i can't remember what it is called) but there has to be a medication that gives you maybe another side effect that you are more willing to live with than the sleeping issue!.

just keep it up and i'm sure you'll find something that works!.

don't worry about what other people say about you sleeping a lot!. they're not bipolar, so they have no idea what's it's like!. heck, i don't even know what it like lol!. i've just seen what the illness and the meds do to ones you love!. hope everything turns out great for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my mother in law has bipolar and has been on so many different concoctions for years!. what seems to have helped her out is taking all her meds at night about 1/2 hour before she goes to bed!.!.!.i can't tell you exactly what she takes, but she functions fine throughout the day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Other than switching and trying some other meds!.!.!.

You could play with the dosages a little- under your doctors guidance!. Perhaps you can take a little less of one pill that makes you sleepy and a little more of another that gives you some lift!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please keep on your meds!. To have a normal life you must, but I am sorry you have such side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

and i just have to deal with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
