I'm very glad that there is a forum for people who take this medi...

Hi I have been on 100mg of this med. for awhile now. And I have experienced headaches, body aches,lathargy,bad memory,i shake so bad when I write that it looks my 7yr.old wrote it. When I get upset everything gets blurry and I shake real bad kind of like I am having seizure. I found a lady recently that deals with natural meds. She is going to do a full body scan to see what chemicals I have too much of in system and do a cleansing of those,change my diet and its all natural. I am so excited. I met someone in a group that I go to that has bipolar as I do was treated with this medication had the same side effects and its been 5yrs for her she is doing wonderful. When I told this to my phsyciatrist she was ok with me doing this. The problem is she told me to just stop taking it. And that the side effects should be minimal. I am scared because of the withdrawls you can experience. I would deffinately get off the med. and try the natural way. I am doing it because nothing has ever helped me it does for awhile then one day I wake the same old crazy girl. I have been dealing with this since I was 18 and I am now 30. I have always felt like it is something else and that I am poisoning myself. I hope this helps you decide what to do.
