A family member has bi-polar. For those of you in the know, there is a relatively new (couple years) medicine. What do you know of it?

The Doctor told us if you get a rash stop. The literature has a few more side effects possible.

Anyon doing this? My family member started it and has not felt better -- but has a bad headache and muscle aches.

I was rx'ed it for post partum depression after Kristopher was born. Not a lot of side-effects, but yes, the memory loss part was almost painfully bad - I couldn't finish a sentence. I asked for something else because of that, as my memory is everything to me, and to not be able to speak properly was more depressing! (If that makes sense... I'm a pretty articulate person... )

However, I do know of some people who have taken it with no problems - not even weight gain, which is usually a lousy side-effect with these things.
