I started the drug this past Tuesday afternoon. It's now Saturday afternoon.
I just today noticed red marks on my arms and stomach that almost look like early stretch marks. I know this is from the water weight gain as certain pants of mine already don't fit and my stomach, arms and face feel very bloated.
I have had a headache, severe, the past 24 hours.
The biggest and hardest thing I am experiencing right now is SEVERE mood swings, bordering hostile and maybe even life-threatening.
I am worried that noone here has talked about people with bi-polar (manic depression) taking the drug....
I am bi-polar and was never asked by my doctor about it.
I strongly feel it's a big reason I am feeling very, very sick (mentally). I have had my bi-polar under control for almost 10 years and right now, I feel as suicidal as I felt when I was at my sickest.
I feel crazy and dizzy and out of control. I am crying constantly and biting off any head that gets near me.
This is the scariest thing I have ever experienced and I have only been on it 4 days!!!!
I will NEVER take this drug again.
I am a singer which is the reason I was put on it. I have been having vocal problems.
If you are a singer reading this, I highly suggest you weigh the benefits of taking it...and if it's worth it for a quick voice fix.
