I have been taking Neurontin, Paxil and Klonopin for a few weeks now for Bipolar disorder. I feel great and hope to have a much happier life. I will be 40 in January 2000 and if as they say, life begins at 40, I AM READY....
I have not had any side effects so far and I feel if I do not expect any (mentally), hopefully I will only continue to get better.
I had to hit the bottom, after spending $50,000.00 I did not have, to finally realize I had a problem only Paxil could not control.
I went to a Psychiatric Hospital where I live on a Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 and found my guardian angels. They have helped me in so many ways, not only medicine changes, but information of this disorder. Half the battle is knowledge.
I hope if there is anyone out there with this disorder, please do not give up. There is hope and it will only be a matter of time before you find it.
