My ex who developed bipolar disorder a few months ago is gonna let me try her meds. Apparently she has one that gets you high and one that brings you down. I'm gonna get very happy, then very sad.

Umm....don't fuck around with those drugs man.

They are NOT recreational drugs by any means.

Bad....BAD idea

?what does that even mean? why would you eat pills that dont get you high or help you in any way... thats like me going to chemo for no reason...its a big risk for nothing in return.
what do you want to take anyway (the name of the meds) and what do you expect to achieve through this
im very curious.

She's got bipolar, one for when she's manic, one for when she's depressed. Basically an anti depressant (the one I'd be more likely to try) which I'm assuming has a euphoric effect, and one to bring her down when her brain's doing that it's self.

Jesus, you guys are fairly serious about not fucking around with prescription drugs. I'm surprised.

And bye bye liver? If I decide it's ok to take these things I'm not going to knock a bottle of them back. I'm not THAT retarded.

Well honestly since reading the replies to this thread I'm reconsidering the whole thing. But I'll save any real decision making for after I've read up on the meds myself. I'm aware that there are some strong drugs out there that can fuck you up. This is why I'm so hesitant to try LSD.

WTF .... you will consider taking some random drug
just for shits and giggles but wont try LSD

There is your first mistake. Anti depressants have no euphoric effect at all.

The simple fact that you're considering taking a bi-polar med to get high proves your ignorance IMO

@ Buddy: Those meds are not uppers or downers, they are Anti-Psychotics. In my view, when you take a medication thats meant to fix a problem you don't have, it'll probably create one.

No, not all of her meds will be anti psychotics.

So you started a thread on an internet forum trying to find out whether or not they are safe, only to have all tell you it's a retarded idea, and now you plan to look else where still considering taking the meds? 

Why didn't you just research prior to asking such a dumb question?  You're clearly ignoring the advice of people here and most likely will search until you find some bit of info that says it's ok, despite all the information that says it's not.

I'm also thinking it'll give me an idea what her life is like. I kind of feel shit still. I mean a few weeks after we break up she gets this and her life turns to shit. And I'm saying 'don't worry about it', or 'it's not all that bad, lots of people have it, Steven Fry has it'. And off I go on my merry way. If it doesn't cause any long term damage I'll probably try it.

No believe me bats that wasn't my intention. My intention was to share what I considered to by a probable future drug experience with other consciousness altering enthusiasts. I thought I'd hear back from one or two people that mood stabalizers can be fun.

Still reading. It's got some fairly nasty physical side effects. Rashes, effecting vision. Vivid dreaming is one that sounds good.

Yeah. This thing isn't what I thought it was. I thought it would be one of those everyday antidepressants people steal off thier mothers. It's an anticonvulsant though. For treatment of Epilepsy and bipolar. I won't be taking this. I've heard about people having great fun on antidepressants, dammit I wanna try them.

Listen to this list of side effects, fairly harsh:

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, blurred or double vision, lack of coordination, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, tremor, rash, fever, abdominal pain, back pain, tiredness, and dry mouth.



Important Safety Information about LAMICTAL and LAMICTAL ODT

Prescription LAMICTAL Tablets are not for everyone. LAMICTAL ODT is another form of LAMICTAL.

LAMICTAL may cause a serious skin rash that may cause you to be hospitalized or to stop LAMICTAL; it may rarely cause death. There is no way to tell if a mild rash will develop into a more serious reaction. These serious skin reactions are more likely to happen when you begin taking LAMICTAL, within the first 2-8 weeks of treatment. But it can happen in people who have taken LAMICTAL for any period of time. Children between 2 to 16 years of age have a higher chance of getting this serious skin reaction while taking LAMICTAL.

The risk of getting a rash is higher if taking LAMICTAL while taking valproate [Depakene* (valproic acid) or Depakote* (divalproex sodium)], taking a higher starting dose of LAMICTAL than a healthcare provider prescribed or increasing the dose of LAMICTAL faster than prescribed.

LAMICTAL can also cause other types of allergic reactions or serious problems which may affect organs and other parts of your body like the liver or blood cells. You may or may not have a rash with these types of reactions.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following: a skin rash, hives, fever, swollen lymph glands, painful sores in the mouth or around your eyes, swelling of your lips or tongue, yellowing of your skin or eyes, unusual bruising or bleeding, severe fatigue or weakness, severe muscle pain or frequent infections. These symptoms may be the first signs of a serious reaction. A healthcare provider should examine you to decide if you should continue taking LAMICTAL.

LAMICTAL may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call a healthcare provider right away if you have worsening depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or thoughts or actions about suicide or self-harm, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you (see Medication Guide).
