> Hi Kelly,
> Your pdoc is giving you some pretty energizing meds; I assume he's monitoring you closely- with no mood stabilizer you're taking a pretty volatile mix for a person with bipolar disorder. But hypomania probably looks pretty good to you now. I'm assuming you are dxd bipolar 2? Are you comfortable with the diagnosis? I took effexor at 225mgs/day- is that your pdoc's target? Sorry to ask so many questions, I guess I've never heard of a cocktail like yours being used in someone who is bipolar. I hope you feel better soon, I'm betting you will. Take care.
I don't know what dxd 2 is? Sorry to be so uneducated, I have a stagering ability to block out anything to do with illness of any sort. I do think he is going for a higher dose of the effexor, I was on it before with a different pdoc and did well until I hit a super manic period and the old doc took me off of it and put me on the celexa, zyprexa combo. Thanks for your input!
