I've been sufffering from bipolar disorder for 6 years and have to take medications up to now. Now, i have to take Divalproex sodium extended release tablets 250 mg and Aripriprazole 5 mg once a day. In the past, mood swings occured frequently and now the same. Moreover, i got drowsy all the time. Now, I'm getting depressed. Our final exam is drawing near and I'm getting much worry about to pass the exam. I'm in stressful condition now. Please help me. What should i do?

    Hey Zay, go back to your Dr and let them know how your feeling. Maybe you need an antidepressant. I take citralopram 40mg, aripiprazole 15mg and lithium 1000mg. Let people know at college how you are feeling. Hang in there. Louise x

      I know how you feel. I dunno if it's the antipsychotic or depression, but I feel sedated and flat. I am going to see my doc next week. Hang in there x

      Hi, Louise, fighting ...... I wish u be ok and feel well soon. As for me, after seeing with my Dr., I am full of energy and feeling well. I believe he can make me perfect. He increase the dose of Divalproex sodium and Aripiprazole to 500 mg and 15 mg and add Artane and Olanzapine. I have taken the medications he prescribed and going to sleep. Tomorrow, i do know I'm full of energy to fight with the problems of my life.
