From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
This week, a look at the resources and information available at About Bipolar Disorder, from side effects to financial assistance and a whole lot more in between. Also - an opportunity for you to help me decide which medications to focus on in the near future.

Medications' Side Effects
All the medications listed here may at some time be prescribed as part of drug therapy for bipolar disorder (manic depression). This list includes common, less common, and rare side effects, and where appropriate include overdose and withdrawal symptoms.

Bipolar Medications In Depth
Profiles of BP drugs from Abilify to Zyprexa, and a listing of resources for many more. Creating new profiles is an ongoing project for me. If you don't find enough information from this list, email me or post a comment to the discussion on the About Bipolar Disorder Facebook Page.

Medication Safety
Tips, warnings and information. Why shouldn't you drink grapefruit juice with your meds? Are generic drugs safe? Problems with heatstroke and cold/flu medications. Dietary hazards when taking MAOIs. All about expiration dates, and more.

Financial Assistance for Medications
Lots of listings for getting help to pay for your medications - state-funded, volunteer, and pharmaceutical company programs.
