Well, i have taken it for 4 days now. At first it wasn't all that bad, i was less depressed, but then i became anxious. Well, yesterday as my last day taking it. I could not hear well, or see well, everything just seemed to be moving. I cannot think straight, and sometimes i think i hear someone screaming. I was just chillin' with my brother one day and i hear someone screaming but he didn't. I shake alot, and i cannot stand how i feel. I would much rather be depressed than feel like this so i am not going to take it. Oh yea, i also haven't been eating. It is 12:30pm and i still haven't eaten. I feel hungry but i just don't want to eat. I currently have something to eat right in front of me, but i don't know if i will eat it.
So anyone have an explanation for this? Maybe i just reacted differently than most other people? Maybe i really am bipolar and for some reason this medicine is not right? I am confuzzled so, i am just looking for an explanation.

I think you should see a doctor, Matthew. There is clearly more to your state of mind and the possible effects of this drug than can be met by any well-meaning words from your friends on this forum. I wish you well.

I have to agree with Harry. People on this board have a lot of anecdotal wisdom, but there's nobody who can accurately diagnose you on a forum. It would be all too easy to get the wrong piece of advice from someone who "knows" what to do.
If the medication is causing you so much discomfort that you have to stop taking it, that is definitely something that your doctor needs to know about. Your doctor can help you try a different medication, and your experience with this one may be medically significant. As you yourself noted, it might mean that your condition is not what it appears to be. It might just mean you had an adverse reaction. Really, only your doctor can determine that.

Hey guys, guess what just happened! My dad was at a neighbors house, and he got so drunk, the neighbors had to bring him home. He could not remember the code to the garage door to open it, so they had to ring the doorbell for him. Then, he came inside, and broke our last toilet. We have nowhere to go to use the bathroom, and we have to sleep here with him. We asked him something(cannot remember) and he could not understand what we asked, no matter how much we said it.. He is just so drunk, i cannot believe it. And the funny(not really funny) thing is, a few days ago my mom asked him not to drink because i felt bad, and she didn't want him to make me feel worse.
So this sucks.... I had the urge to pick up the bar to my metal weights and beat him down with it, but i know better, i wouldn't do it.

HAHAHA awesome... I feel better now :P
Just remember, no one is perfect. Your dad is human too, just like all of us and are prone to having our moments. Everyone deals with stress differently. If it bothers you, you need to talk to him about it. But try to have an open mind, and remember he IS your father. He didnt do it to embarrass you. Im sure we all have had our parents do things that made us take a step back, and vice versa! Remember, hard times bring out the best and worst in people. What makes you a man are the actions you take when times are tough and how you stand up to the problems. Take care, Matt

Yea. BUT HE BROKE MA TOILET! MA THRONE!!! Hehe, just messin'.
But i cannot forgive him, he has done too much stuff. He has put mine and my little brother life in danger, and we where small so we didn't know not to get in the car, we didn't know he was drinking. An hour drive, and he was drunk enough he started puking, and right after that we left. Also, he came to my first school band thing drunk, in front of all those parents. And, he drank on the way back from the rita evacuation, (i was in a different car with my mom) and got arrested, leaving us with no money or food, and we had to get money from someone to get him out. Even when he ain't drunk, he is mean and treats my mom and everyone else badly.

Matthew, from what you have described of your father's drinking behaviour, it may well be that you are not getting all the support at home that might be hoped for.
While medication may well have an important part to play in your recovery, I think you should do all that you can to get other forms of support if you are to live on an even keel where you can grow and develop into a secure and worthwhile future.
I have looked about online for you, and think you might benefit from joining an organization called Al-Anon, which is a support organization for the children and families of alcoholics, and seems to have branches in just about every town the United States.
Then you could think about joining an online support group for young people with bipolar and other mood disorders, or, better still, join a real life group in your neighbourhood.
As I have said, you may well need medication at this stage of your recovery, but medication without other forms of support may well not be enough.
Find out about support groups and join them! Doing something positive about your recovery yourself will be an important first step - perhaps the most important - so now is the time to shift for yourself, and start sawing away at the bars of your mental prison. The very best of luck to you, lad.

I wonder how much of all this you are taking in? What do you do after you read these forums?
If you mean what do i do after on 4hv, the simple answer is get on 4hv :).
Well, i usually get on youtube and check hotmail and look at stuff for while and then get off and just chill. For some reason i cannot remember what i usually do....

>Hey guys, guess what just happened! Lol, now you think *you* need drugs?! I have the same s**t (a bit worse in fact) nearly every day lol! (talking of parents, the brain of my dad finally managed to degrade up to the level of a total retard - speaking of alcohol negative FX huh) Guess I'm depressed? No damn way - none of those mere little things are to ever affect my world! (and neither should they affect your one) Medical drugs? Naah, broken perception is *not* the way out, or at least they are the way out for the weak. The real way out is ignorance! Much things really make you sick? Just put 'em out of sight - like you should really care of 'em while there's so much good stuff around? Social groups? Those gangs of 'lil miserable suckers? Forget it! Like you want to join them? You are your own one-man wrecking crew, equipped with strength to affect whatever you want, conciousness to define your own priorities and mind to have your own world model to analize things with! Why should you need those dumb moaners by your side?
So, kick your doctor in the nuts, say your straight FU to anyone who pisses you off, have some laugh on those social-group-suckers and grab the soldering iron hard - life's so short and you've got so much l33t (sry, mods) things to do it's just stupid to let anyone distract your attention from your dreams! Enjoy things - and if anyone prevents you from that - just politely ask one to f*** off!
