Just started Igalmi 180mcg SL Film for agitation related to bipolar I - any advice?
I've just been prescribed Igalmi 180mcg SL Film to manage agitation episodes due to my bipolar I disorder. I've heard it can help calm you down quickly, but I'm also a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone here tried it? How did it work for you? Any tips on managing the side effects? I'd love to hear any experiences or advice you have!
Be careful with the serious side effects. I had a friend who had a bad reaction and had to go to the hospital. If you feel any chest pain or severe dizziness, don't wait—get help right away.
I've been on Igalmi for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer. It really helps with the agitation, but I did experience some drowsiness at first. Just make sure to take it when you can sit down and relax for a bit.
You mention dizziness as a side effect. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm a bit worried about it.
I've tried Igalmi and found it to be really effective but I did have some numbness in my mouth. Make sure you are taking it exactly as prescribed and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
I forgot to ask my doctor about the allergic reaction symptoms. What should I do if I feel like I'm having a reaction?
I've been using Igalmi for a while, and while it does help with the agitation, the dry mouth is a bit annoying. I just keep water close by and sip it when needed!
