I am on Lithium 900 mg
Wellbutrin 400 mg
plus a sleeping pill and an ativan for anxiety once in a while. I am DEPRESSED.I went off all my meds a couple of months ago to get off the bleeping antidepressants I was on that I think may have kept me rapid cycling for the past two years.
So, I can't try antidepressants. THey make me manic and cycle.
Antipsychotics -- I tried two (while on antidepressants, mind you) and they did weird things to me. One flipped me into mania, the other sent me into a agitated depression that sent me to the hospital.
Lamictal gave me the rash.
SO what next???
I've been in this state of mild/moderate depression for 5 months. It's getting really old, and I have no idea what my new doctor is going to want to try with me.
Do I have more options????????????????? ECD is definitely something I would try if there is nothing else.
