So i've been taking lamictal for about 3 days now , and it seems to be working ok. So far so good, the buspar did not work out as well for me. Made me really shaky and felt like i was falling or dropping (weird feeling) i know , but i'm wondering if maybe it's not the buspar and maybe could it be because i was on zoloft and klonopin for 7 months? And just switched to 2 different meds? or could it just be the buspar? I don't know .... I have different feelings about it. I'm not sure. I so far like lamictal but the side effects really scare me and don't know if it's worth it . But in the end if it helps and if i don't have many side effects it will be worth it , god how i wish medications did not have side effects!!!!!!!!!!! i always feel the need to go read all of them before i take any medication which i know is smart but then i get freaked out. Sorry to go on and on, but just wondering if there are any suggestions of a better mood stabilizer and better medication for bipolar disorder? Any suggestions let me know <3 OH and lithium i want to know about it!

Yeah I've done it before and quit without knowing that i wasn't supposed to and it was the worst thing I've ever went through in my life. But my doctor kept prescribing it to me, now i know what it can do so i only was taking it as needed. And i don't depend on it. But yeah i know all about the withdraw it's terrible.

why were you on klonopin for 7 months!? did your doctor tell you to do this???? if you were i hope you didnt stop it cold turkey, please read about benzodiazepine withdrawl it may explain alot of the symptons you are having atm.
