hi, just to say that i have been on meds for seven years and , although to start with i felt awful, tired and drugged as well as panicky, that has levelled out and i now have moments of great excitement and happiness like other "normal" people. My sex drive has come back, i have felt strong enough to stop smoking and start exercising regularly ..but..I do wake frequently whereas before i slept all the way through and have gained weight from the meds. also, have been nowhere near as creative as before.but i feel so grateful for the fact that i can function and feel ok most of the time. i am on Sulpiride, Tegretol Retard and Lamictal, my life saver!
Hope you feel better soon-hang in there!Hugs,
Lyn
