Medication concerns?

If someone has bi-polar and aren't taking their medication, is the anti-depression medication Paxil ok to take? Will that hold any bad side effects for them if they give somebody a lift it or could it help?Medication concerns?
Only your Doctor should insist on you about what medication to take. He/She is the one who fully can access your situation and diagnose you.
i expect Paxil could help next to some of the symptoms of bipolar. it won't be as effective as your everyday medication obviously. but you should really speak to your doctor to make sure you wont own any bad side effects, or possibly to get more bipolar medication.
NEVER... EVER... EVER... Self Medicate!

Go see your doctor!
Paxil is a amazingly nasty drug.
I have a friend on Paxil, and he had these horrible outbursts of anger against himself and others. And he didnt suffer from that beforehand.
It is also known to create suicidal thoughts in relatives under 25.
Anti-depressants DO NOT assistance bipolar. I just read an article on it.
Why would they not pinch their Lithium but would take Paxil? Lithium is prescribed precisely for Bipolar from what I hear...
Prozac is better.But the best point is to be under a doctors meticulousness so you dont run out of meds.
