My wife is bipolar. We have tried for a few years to figure out the right meds. Due to a tremendous amount of side effects we decided to take her off of everything thing except seroquel and basically... start over.

Well she ended up swinging super high over the last few months.. Which I kind of expected. Now we have her on seroquel and Lamictal. But she says it makes her feel terrible. She is sweaty. And has some pain in her legs. But its more than that. she can't really explain it tho... Am I wrong in thinking maybe she got so used to mania that leveling out just feels terrible? Or are these just more side effects that will make us switch to something new?
