My child was diagnosed Bipolar, ADD, OCD etc. I have just moved into the area and am in need of a new physciatrist and psycologist for him. He will be turning 11 in a few weeks.

I feel sad and feel like crying, I don't know what is wrong. I am on straterra also. I take .25 of symbrax. ## Dear Calvin, I hope this message finds you well. There are always a myriad of side effects and things to complicate existing conditions when taking certain drugs. With that said, hopefully your doctor or pharmacist can attest to the symptoms you have been having as a result of being on these meds. Also, have you considered any support groups? Sometimes being around others going through a similar experience can be helpful. During some difficult times in my life I was able to get the support and inspiration needed for healing by attending a weekly discussion group. I truly hope you can find an outlet as well. May the vibrance and fullness of life come back to you. Best Wishes...

I have been on Lithium for 15 yrs and do great while on it. Whenever I've tried to taper it, I decompensate quickly. How bad is it for me to be on Lithium my whole life? (I do have tests every year or so for kidneys, EKG, etc., and so far, no problems) ## Drugs effect different people in different ways, no one will have the same reaction to taking them and the same effects from the length of time on them. The only way to decide if it is safe for you to take them for many more years is to discuss this with your doctor.

I just recieved it in place of my regular prescription and came on here to find out if it is the right meds for me. ## This is Carbamazepine 200mgs, a generic for Tegetrol XR. This is used to help control seizures and to help some types of nerve pain. Yes, it is also used a mood stabilizer.
