My mother has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in March 2021. Since then we were following a psychiatrist. She has been through multiple manic episode since then. The main problem she is facing is that the medicines prescribed by the dr. Makes her body very stiff, she sleeps all day and night, she blabber, she has headache and even her hands shiver and her feet are  swelling. I know there are side effects of these tablets. But what she is experiencing is hindering her day to day activities. That's the only reason she never agrees to go to the dr. In manic episodes. We compelled her to see a Dr. I just want to know are these side effects normal?? everyone going through bipolar experiences it or do we need to change the dr.? Please help me out with this. Thanks
