Thank You ! My question is what medications are best for treating Bi-Polar 2? I have been prescribed Lithium,Seroquel,Reperadol and have experienced bad side effects like diarrhea, bad stomach pains and these meds make my feel like I am floating though cream of mushroom soup. Lorazepam seems to work pretty well without all the side effects  although it is not much help with with depression or mood swings it is good for a short term fix and it does help me     to eat, I have also tried Clonzepam this seems stronger than Lorazepam and just makes go to sleep, my doctor seems hesitant to prescribe Lorazepam. What is your advise? Also  I have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa .Thank You for you time.
! I have read your question carefully and from that it appears that you have bipod disorder, have been on several medicines for that, but had one or other side effect and prefer lorazepam. Your doctor does not agree to give you much of lorazepam, and you have asked what should you go for? From my clinical experience I can say that your doctor is right in hesitating in giving you lorazepam or may be clonazepam, because-1. They are just symptomatic managers and will not help in taking care of the disorder 2. Both have good addiction potential 3. If taken for long time irrelevantly, can lead to multiple body problems, like liver disorders4. They just relieve anxiety or help sleep, nothing more, I can understand that you have had varied side effect with bipolar medicines, but there are still good choices yet to be tried and one has to try out Chat Doctor.  It is seen many times that the psychiatrist have to change the main
