Lithium /Wellbutrin and Lamicatal mix

I'm on Lithium 900mg and 150mg of Wellbutrin  and 300mg lamictal.  I have been on Depakote as well but my body was absorbing it to fast and I never really styed at a level good enough.  Since I've been on the lith and well/lamictal I seem to cycle more then with the depakote well lamictal.  Has anybody on these meds for Bipolar been at a level an even level and stayed at it.  I was on 1100mg of Lithium and the Dr had to reduce due to the fact I was so flat unemotional like a robot.  I cant seem to find the right meds.  I been thinking about stopping my meds.  Having trouble with husban and him understanding I feel he's getting fed up with all my mood swings.  Sometimes I feel i should just end it.  Feeling a little down today but that what Life with Bipolar is well for me anyway.

Well, don't even consider ending it all!!!  There is still hope out there.  You just have to be willing to look for it.  Sounds like to me it's about time for a change in drs.  You know, pdocs are like all the rest, some are good, some are very good, and then others. . . well, you know.  Sounds like you and yours don't have a good working relationship.  Do you have other drs and meds?  If you do they ALL need to be working together for your good.

Don't give up on life, it can be absolutely wonder when you find the right combo and get stable.  Trust me, I'm a stable bper and there's nothing like it.
