"i&#039;ve had bad reactions to every mood stabilizer i&#039;ve tried, but this was truly the scariest. i had to withdraw from college because i was sleeping constantly, crying for 8 hours at a time, and hallucinating. i eventually became suicidal and landed myself in the hospital for 2 weeks. i know that everyone reacts differently and finding the bipolar cocktail is a painful trial and error process, but if you have this experience, i wanted you to know you are not alone."
