Hey, sounds like you have a great significant other. Most don't want to deal with all the up, down, left, right and even inside out moods we live. I hate having to take meds too (the "why me???" syndrome), so your boyfriend's comment means something to me. Thanks!
I went to my dr and she gave me adderall and i have decided to stop taking the seroquel and only take the geodon with my morning and night lithium and lamictal, with xanax as needed. i think this will work better for me. thanks for the support, i feel like a freak because i have to take medication, but as my boyfriend says its like wearing glasses, its necessary and helps. with me luck!
sheflickers - I'm on four medications and i'm doing okay. The number and type of meds you take is highly personal and a subject that only you and your doctor can discuss and determine. But if you're not making it with your doctor then, perhaps, it's time to shop around for a new MD. It's great that two meds is good for some folks but that, by no means, is good for all. shawn
thanks, i have an appt tmw night and i will see what she can do. i want to be on less meds, but the xanax and i think adderall are going to be key with whatver else im on. lithium used to work with the lamictal, but she added all the antipsychotics i think because the base two werent working. wish me luck!
First of all you are waaay too many meds you really only need a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant. and therapy as well. talk to your doc and tell him how you feel and try the adderal.I am on celexa and zyprexa and that has been wonderful for me. so get to your doc and go from there and dont leave his office till you get some answers.Keep me posted.
