MedHelp Member's Question

What Meds are Left?

I am bipolar with a personality disorder.  No meds work anymore.  I'm currently on Prozac.  What will I do when that no longer works?

Have you tried a combination
5mg risperdal
100mg Topamax
50mg Molipaxin
60mg Cymbalta

Works now for 2 years wonderfully for me

What side effects do you experience? I am most concerned with hair loss because I look like a chia pet that's just starting to root up.

I have tried pretty much everything there is to offer, once i was on 13 different meds at one time. due to non of those helping, I start to do ECT electroconvulsive therapy. Ithas been the only thing that seems to have worked.
