I am 27 yo suffering of bipolar disorder since I was a teenager. I think the pills I take (seroquel and serlift) are still not good enough.

I was diagnosed as bipolar last year but couldn’t tolerate any of the meds. I’m on an antidepressant now, but am still having some pretty severe mood swings. Are there any bipolar meds that don’t have very severe side effects?

I’m mostly interested in responses from people who have personally experienced a positive response to treatment. Everyone who knows someone with bipolar or who experiences it themselves knows that the “low” cycle of bipolar can be literally a killer, and many will not take medications because of some of the nasty side effects they have. Which, if any, of the current medications or other treatments have provided you or your loved one with measureable relief with the least negative side effects?

I have been presclibed Tegrotol(100mg) and it only worked good the 1st night… starting the 2nd night I could not sleep again. My doctor has told me to increase the dose to 200mg which i will be trying tonight… but I am also on Zoloft for depression, which was great up to when I started bipolar medication(except the racing thought and sleep problems) , but now I am not getting the good effects of Zoloft…. I have heard of Lithum but then I hear it has a lot of side effects for long term use…. so are there any newer drugs that have less side effects???
