Kristen,

Taking a look at the number and the nature of your posts, you are obviously having a hard time. I sympathize with you. I don't know your Dx but I suggest you call your doctor/psychiatrist as soon as possible!!!

Anyway, is this what you take? - Effexor - Klonopin - Seroquel - Lamictal.

A little note here. Please don't take it as a self Dx, but if you are having some hypomanic episodes you have nothing to stabilize you. Lamictal? No. I take myself Lamictal (300 mg) but it is used in the treatment and prevention of the bipolar depression only. Lamotrigine is not effective in the manic phase. So in other words, you need a mood stabilizer (along with Lamotrigine) like Lithium or Depakote to stabilize your mood and put a cap on the manic phase. Of course this is conditional to the bipolar illness only.

Hope this helps!


Max.
