I can't seem to get it right....

Posted by rina on March 2, 2007, at 13:13:45

Does anyone have a cocktail that has worked effectively for them? I'm currently on lamictal 200mg and topamax 25mg(started tuesday) I have bipolar 2,rapid cycling, mood swings and ADD. I want to get rid of the lamictal but I'm already all over the place. I want my pdoc to add something diff to the topamax. I just don't know what. I'm a flight attendant and have gained about 50lbs thus far. I've told him I don't want anything else that will induce weight gain. Now he says that's most of the meds. Is that really true? Can't be..

When lamictal started to bug the hell out of me, he put me on abilify. Its only been a few days, so I cant tell for sure if its 'better'. Gaining weight as a flight attendant? I had a friend that was a flight attendent in the 70's. She said they would kick her off if she gained 1 pound! Good thing women have more rights in that repect now....and no one has to wear hot pants =)

I just took myself off of the Ablify before starting the topamax because it wasn't doing anything and making me gain weight. I hate meds.

Rina unfortunately I don't think I'll be much help to you over the years I've taken a lot of meds with horrible side effects. But a cocktail for me is my synthroid, benzo and low dose ad. Sorry. Love Phillipa
