BIPOLAR MEDICATION HELP 💊

BIPOLAR MEDICATION HELP 💊

Hi I'm new to this forum, but i was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 in 2015.

I have trialed so many different medications and so far all they've done is made me a sleeping, fat zombie 🧟‍♂️

[medication names and dosages removed by moderator]

Now I have insomnia at night and rely on melatonin every night to get me to sleep otherwise I'm tossing and turning for hours..

I'm trying to find the perfect balance so I can work and socialise - get enough sleep without having to over do it.

I do not want to be over medicated or feeling like a zombie. Can anyone please help?

Hey @Jayyne95 ,

Welcome to the forums.

I can hear you are looking for support around medications.

Just a note, the forums are not able to share medication names, dosages and advice as we are not a clinical service.

We can, however, provide you with insight about shared experiences. I hope you find these insights helpful.
