Exclamation BiPolar Meds



Ok everybody; I'm getting ready to go back to my doctor in a week and discuss my meds once more. I'm tired of the weight gain, the blurred vision, and being tired, or zoned out all the time. What's everyone's opinion on the best Bipolar med available on the market right now? Lithium seems to cause me weight gain, blurred vision, and confused thoughts at times. Depakote seems to cause weight gain in me. Topamax seems to cause me some vision problems; but at least I don't gain a ton of weight. They all seem to affect my libido to a certain extent. I'm tired of all this crap; but I don't want another manic episode either. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need them fast!
Thanks,
In Christian Love and Recovery,
TheLazarusman
