Historyteach, you are very smart. Your reply post is true. Being bipolar isn't something to "wear" as part of your outfit. I'm glad you are trying a new medication. It's very important that you find one, that works, and take it as prescribed. Have you ever tried cymbalta? My daughter tried many, that either left her zombie like, or gave her nightmares, etc...but the cymbalta has worked wonders. I realize that everyone is different and meds work accordingly. Keep trying until you find one you are comfortable with. And keep in mind that you don't have to tell people that you are bipolar.
