Lithium scares me. But, I should do something that has more data behind it, right? Right.
So, I'm thinking...up Lamictal to 200, which I think is fairly standard. Drop Trileptal. Gradually switch out Abilify @ 30 for Seroquel @...well, whatever works (for some reason, I was thinking 200 x 3=600, since I get agitation, anxiety, and bad depression...plus psychosis now and then).
My low moods can be pretty intense, so I'm hoping that if my doc can go for this (and the seroquel titration isn't too terrible), the Seroquel will do double duty--mood elevator and antipsychotic.
Problem is sedation :-( Abilify doesn't seem to help the blues much, but at least I'm not sleeping 12 hours/day. Now that seroquel is generic, I guess I could just ask for some on top of the Abilify, but then...why take 2 antipsychotics, you know?
