> Sup Squiggles,
> Yeah I'm not sure where the agitation comes from... I suffer from alot of agitation from my bipolar II illness, so I wonder if this is a part of it...
>When I was diagnosed, I believe there was no
distinction between the Bipolar versions-- yes
I am almost a senior citizen.:-) However, my
dr. did give me clonazepam for anxiety. I am
still not sure if the anxiety was part of the bipolar disorder -- it's a complicated case.
> Thats good news that the side-effects decreased for you.. One of my major issues is this mental fog I get? I really hope that it decreases over time, what do u think?I never got mental fog from lithium. One of the reasons I am a great proponent of this drug is the clarity of mental state it provides, IF you don't go toxic. As you are taking another drug as well, I can't say where the "mental fog" is coming from.
