> Hey John, I haven't been around the board in a while so I thought I'd come see how you're doing. Well, it seems like you're still a busy bee, but otherwise how's the medication and overall progress?
Hi Jack,
Good to hear from you. Are you on summer break?
Well, I'm still tinkering with the meds. I was taking
Topamax with Lamictal and the combo was keeping me
hypomanic. I swapped out the Topamax for Serzone (to help
with headaches), at this left me a bit depressed and cycling.So now I am on a Lithium trial. Its been about 3 weeks at
600 mg lithobid (don't know blood level), but I haven't noticed
much difference. Probably need to bump the dose. I took some
Topamax again this weekend and it made me a bit hypomanic (so
probably the Li is not quick there). That explains the flurry
of posts. A real roller coaster.I hope this Lithium works and I can return to work soon.
How are things going for you?
Best Regards,
JohnPS Hi Chloe!
