I am trying to stay on the least amount of meds possible. Plus, I am trying to stay on meds that won't cause weight gain.
I did love the tiny dose of Zyprexa I tried about 3 years ago. I think I only took 2.5mg - 5mg to get me through a REALLY bad crisis and it worked and made me feel good.
The Adderall helps me so much with depression, but by the time I take the 2nd dose I notice that I hyperfocus. BUT if I don't take the 2nd dose of Adderall the first dose wears off and I get irritable.
I was hoping upping the Lithium would help. Maybe if I stuck with a higher dose of Lithium and my 2 doses a day of Adderall I won't get so irritable by the end of the day.
I really don't like being on Lithium. I just know that if I start to feel irritable I need some kind of med to deal with that. And I'm not sure Lithium is the med for irritability.
I guess antipsychotics are the meds for irritability?
Can't take antidepressants.
I do have klonopin, but that doesn't kick in soon enough first thing in the morning when I wake up irritable.
