My bipolar medication makes me tired, and I want to stay awake?

yes they will! what are you taking? i took paxil and prozac and it took my body about a month to get use to these medications. i was always wanting to sleep and the medicine hurt my stomach so much i was always wanting to puke. my body adjusted and these symptoms completely went away. just give it some time, take it easy and try to feel better =) i suggest taking a nice walk everyday and drinking plenty of water, eat your fruits and veggies
